A little less than $5 per box! The boxes are ruined as far as collectability due to the packing tape they were wrapped in, but still neat, I've never seen this ammo before in real life!

The guy had almost a whole crate full and I am sure he had it from the 60s. Despite my concerns about the date, the ammo shot just like it was brand new. I kept one round for reference. My guess is that it was exported before WW2 to Spain or some other country.

I posted there as I could upload the pics directly to the post without all of the photobucket or Yuku tomfoolery that is erquired to get a picture here. Later in the day, when I had more time, I went through the photobucket hassle so I could get pics here as well. I don't think I got hurt at $5 per box, did I?

It is rare and hard to find, and I have seen some of it selling for a dollar a round at gunshows, but the seller never had any worthwhile quantities, just a box or two. I always passed on it, but figured if I could find it in quantity at a reasonable price, I would latch onto some, but that never has happened. Consider yourself lucky! Curt

I appreciate the replies!!

Only have one box now as I shot the other box. Got it at our local gun show for the extravagant some of $1.00 a box. The box also has " Z.A. POCISK S.A. 7.92. mm. naboje Sc Partja 129. Neat ammo going to keep this box. MC

It's already been put away with the other 7,92 "Don't shoot me until you've ran out of the other stuff" stock.
