Thank you Norbert,
I try to find out if the high lot numbers from 1945 are still German production or Czech with German components.
I think you do the same with the 7,9x33.

Here he is.

Nice box dutch11 , thank you for showing.
Do you have the numbers of how many that was produced ?
Regards Bunker
Unfortunately I cannot tell that.
It was a civilian order, not a militarily.
No records found.

Packaging of 12 stripper clips. Real or fake?
This is already for a long time in the collection. I found once at a fair between a lot of odd stuf throwed together on a pile.
Box and paper doesn't light up under UV( yes, i know this is not a certainty). The label says for Gew98... Makercode (gap,Ernst Angermann, Lederwarenfabrik/Holster, Koppeln, Riemen)has nothing to do with paper/cardboard... Dutzend(dozen) could be right, one pair of ammopouches are 12 stripper clips. The clips seem to be repaired with a new springleaf, war- or postwardone...
A lot of doubts but maybe something interestin to discuss.
All opinions are welcome...

I am sorry to tell you this, but the only original from your item are the pre WW2 Polte clips.
The existents of this 12 clips pack is unknown.
Clips were transported from the factory in a kind of Patronenkasten 88.
This was not a normal (1,5cm) but made from 3cm wood.
The picture shows a label from a transport box with 3030 clips made by “hhw”

That's the answer i expected. Fortunately i paid just the price of the clips.
Thanks for the input and pictures of a real package.
The heavy ball “S” cartridge was developed at the same time as the normal “S” cartridge but was not adopted.
It changed in 1914 with the introduction of the Zeppelin. Because of the heavier bullet they could fire earlier on the attacking airplanes.
The first known are from September 1914. We can recognise them on the box label in the clamps; “ L Mun. schweres Geschoß” (air ammunition heavy ball).
They were made by the GPK (Gewehr Prüfungs Kommission)
(Picture of the box courtesy; Woodin Lab, Tucson AZ).
Later that year the SmK cartridge was introduced. In 1915 they did not need the sS round anymore.
A couple of years later the Germans found out that the French machine guns who fired the 8mm Lebel, could reached a couple of hundred meter more than the German “S” ammunition.
The sS round was introduced again as a MG round.
The first are known with a head stamp from Cassel, “C” from October 1917 still with a black annulus color.
In January 1918 it changed to green.
