Unopened WWII ammo boxes?

Doug G. · 07-27-2005, 11:33 PM

I haven't bought any of this for a number of years. I think I paid $20 a box? Have a local guy now trying to sell some to me for $40. Is this what it's going for now?

Doug,

I was recently happy to pay (probably over-pay) $ 95 for a box of 24 Swiss 7,65 military rounds...made in 1943 and never opened...

Doug G. · 07-28-2005, 12:02 AM

This is plain old 9mm.

Doug,
I paid $10 a box for two boxs of 1944 about a year ago. One opened, one sealed. I think $40 a box is a bit too high. Then on the other hand I could be stupid too!

Hi All,

Empire arms had some a while back. I bought two boxs, one open and the other is still sealed.

Be well,

Steinar · 08-01-2005, 08:14 AM

..same deal here for european users. 20$ open 25$ sealed.

George_F · 09-06-2005, 05:05 PM

What boxes are we talking about? Are these the WW2 9mm German make that are 16 rounds to a box?

Thanks!

George Anderson · 09-06-2005, 05:44 PM

George_F, that is correct, 9mm 16 rounds and I still have a couple of boxes.

George_F · 09-07-2005, 10:03 AM

Thnaks for the info. I have a few to dispose of as well, but will wait a bit and let you get rid of your first.

Actually I have a complete case of the black tipped 9mm (mit Eisenkern). I have to figure out how to dispose of all that. Annoyingly enough I believe it is considered 'armor-piercing' which limit some states that I could sell it to.

As I may have mentioned previous, my father was an avid collector of things military (focusing 99% on firearms and ammo) so I'm still finding things.

Thankfully there are forums like this to provide such a wealth of knowledge!

I reload so when I can't find something or when a friend needs an odd round and can't find it or its way too expensive I use this chart. Surprising what is out there that will work with the use of a dremel tool and sizing die.
