A 9x19 ammo question

Nice clip!

Not too common to find late-war German 9mm rounds on clips, may have been a later combination. Normally they were distributed without clips in 16-round cardboard boxes, enough to fill 2 magazines. The combination of clip and rounds can be explained (this is mere speculation on my part) by use in a 9mm Mauser C96.

I also have a boxed set of steel bullet copper washed 9mm rounds on loading strips that were produced by Sellier & Bellot shortly after WW2.

The German made bullets shown in your photo are copper washed which is in line with the 1944 date. Most 1944 dated bullets in my collection are copper washed rather than painted black.
