they are not orig. ww2.. I mean Nazi boxes as they have a Nazi flag on the box. its some sort of commercial ammo.. 8mm kurz. has anyone seen this stuff.
Can you have him text you a cell pic?
Sprat - I've paid a lot more than $3 - I paid through the nose for one post-war Sb 1946 - it was produced for one batch in one year (before dismantling the machinery), and I am fine with it.
I don't know if they are gougers, so much as ignorant - I seem to be the only person ever bidding on this ammo on GB - lol -
I won't pay that much for modern ammo I intend to shoot -
(No surplus will ever go through my rifles.)
I just picked up 200 rounds for $115 - but, collecting is a different matter for me.
This ammunition is historical and it's development, and history is intwined with and speaks of the development and technology of the firearm.
The ammunition changed, as it was developed, the primer, powder loads, case material, projectile, first with a view to efficiency then desperation.
The Polte factory started producing this stuff in 1941, the Mkb42 followed the ammunition.
To collect and study the firearm but ignore the ammunition, seems like an oversight to me.
But, collecting is a personal thing.
There are those that would call us odd for collecting a seventy year old automatic, that is not particularly accurate, sporting or tactically valid anymore
BTW - there are collectors on the IAA forum who make my Kurz collection look like childsplay - thankfully I am not unique in my demented pursuits.
