7.65 (pp, ppk, cz27) late war ammo???
I was talking to a cartage collector down at the SOS and asked about 7.65 ammo and why I never see any for sale.
He though that they never made any war time ammo and just used commercial DWM ammo. If you think about it, these guns saw little use compaired to 9mm MP40's eating up rounds like candy.
So, anyway, a friend said his friend's dad brought a gun back from the war with a loaded mag of ammo. I got to see it. He had a real nice early CZ27, and 8 rounds of steel cased DWM 44 ammo (also had a p497ish code, small hard to read).
He wouldn't sell me one, his mom was going to throw the whole rig in the trash.
I wish I would have brought my camera, but no pictures.
So now I've seen some late war rounds in hand. Are they really that hard to find??
