Old French 9mm ammo

Hey Ed,

Your ammo is a typical marking on commercial cartridges produced by "Societe Francaise de Munitions" formerly Gevelot & Gaupillat ; Paris

What is the roman numerals or markings in the one segment on the headstamp ???? can't read it from picture glare.......... I see the SFM and the stars but cant discern what the other marks are ?????

this ammo appears to have been produced in timeframe from 1930- 1939 but my reference material is a bit sketchy ..............

Value ?????? is a subjective thing as we all know.........i know i couldn't afford $ 400 a box for it................especially while momentarily unemployed at this time.........

BTW, you still coming to Chattanooga in the near future ??...............

Regards, Paul
