Back about 1956/57 when my father and I bought our first Luger together, it was more difficult finding the cartridges than it was finding the pistol. Pop finally found a box of commercial 9mm but we then purchased it in 100 round lots of surplus non-corrosive 9mm from "Ye Olde Hunter" for $5.00/100. It was war-time Winchester. They also offered surplus corrosive ammo at $4.00/100.
