1917 Ammo box

Edward Tinker · 06-12-2019, 12:27 AM

I am always looking for WW1 ammunition - have had two really nice ones, that unfortunately went away to some collectors, but have also picked up 'rougher' ones too. As an example, found two boxes of ammo at an antique shop, one a WW1 9mm and the other a 9mm Largo - both military. You simply have to keep your eyes open.

Here was one I just happened to run across a few weeks ago, it was on auction and including shipping was $68 -

It is 1917 MW (have to look that up) - was missing one round of ammo - I looked, but not very close at my single rounds and didn't see a MW round, put a DWM 1917 in it for now and sealed it.
