Did all lugers share the ammunition

The only ammo I've found is 2 boxs of 1917 brown and blue label. Then your basic 1944 nazi. What about every one else? IE Weimer Police? I fould the gun yet no period ammo!

Weimar ammo is hard to come by - I have only a box and its not for sale

Ron Wood · 06-16-2012, 10:02 PM

Really tough ammo to come by...Ed is lucky.

I always pick the winners! I will make it my mission!

cirelaw · 06-16-2012, 10:34 PM

Can you tell me how its marked! One of my new obsessions!

Eric, here are photos of two boxes I have. One is clearly marked and dated 1920 while the other with the midsection gone is marked "Fertungsjahr 191?(either 8 or 9)-----Lieferung unbekannt" year manufactured (completed) 191?-----production lot unknown.

Its great and fits right in!This is the only brown Ive ever seen! they are identical otherwise!

Here are some examples of complete boxes. The bottom box is a very rare boxed case of Polte 1925 Drill / Exercise rounds.

The top box is a 1924 box, with a deliberately vague label. The contents consist of a combination of Belgian and Swiss made components. The use of foreign made ammunition components was necessary to avoid possible detection by the Interallied Control Commission.

(uploading messed up the order of the photos, the fist is a scan of the Polte exercise rounds from the bottom box).
