The label is uv-tested.
If you look at picture #1 you can see a number 5 printed on the front of the box.
Yugo boxes were stamped this way.
I can give you an example from an other fake Label, made the same way

UV test means nothing. You can buy old books made in the 1940's at any yard sale or flea market for $1.00, remove the blank pages at the beginning and the end of the book, and Voila!, there you have two blank sheets of non-UV "labels" waiting to be printed, turning a worthless post war Yugo box into a WW2 "collectible".
A Belgian cartridge-collector told me this:
- It must be s.S., the last point after s.S is missing.
- The word "Unbekantt" is wriiten with a capital letter in this case it should be without.
Well, eGun in Germany took there responsibility and take the item out of there auction.
Last price was €37 about $42. US

With all the boxed 8mm available at shows, with very little selling, I am surprised they bother faking the boxes.
I am not sure what you are saying. I have a very large collection of boxed 8mm ammo; from common to rare. I have been collecting it for almost 30 years. I go to between 20-25 shows a year (even Kassel) and see boxed (most of it the common rounds) ammo at every show. Because I see it so often, I don't understand why they are faking the boxes, since the vast majority of original boxed ammo I see at shows does not sell.
OK, you are a collector with experience.
Would you or a newbie buy this box?
I won't...
I sent you a pm about the why...
