Re-boxed WWII cartridges for the MP44/StG44.
These are re-labelled boxes Czech and East German I think.
7.92x33mm Kurz (short) Cartridge. (KurzPatr43mE)
Lacquered steel cartridge cases.....'St' marking on the headstamp.
The gun that used these cartridges.
Serial numbered 9532aa/44.
Erma - late war code qlv, WaA280.
Erma produced MP43, MP44 and Stg44. 104,000 were made.
Erma serial number letters are regular small letters - at last 2 letters. Erma barrels will have nothing more than a letter such as "Q" or "S" and also have "ayf" or "qlv".
The underside of the receiver is marked: cos / WaAA44 (Merz Werke), qlv or ayf (Erma), WaA280 (Erma) and a Nazi-eagle (German army proof).
