I.D. DND .22 for me

[happydude]

In cleaning the house, we stumbled upon a box of 50 .22 LR, on the top it says "This is the Property of D.N.D.", the front and back say "50 CTGS .22 ball long rifle". It's in a tan/cardboard colored box, on the inside of the flaps it has the markings 90G (grams?) and "C304686" The cartridges themselves have a little diamond on bottom. I'm sure this has no real worth, just looking for info on it.
Thanks

I swear officer, I just found it in my house. I have no idea how it got there.

That, or that I got it from a guy at the range (which I did).

They probably have some collector value if the box is complete.

Here's a brown colored box of DND .22 that came with my 1944 No.4 Mk1 Longbranch .22 Caliber Training Rifle.

I also have a "white" box of DND .22 that was made in the U.S.

The box is complete, and similar to the brown on in your photo. The writting on mine, however, is much larger. The writing covers the top and side.

So, shoot it or keep it?

Regular .22 ammo is "walmart" cheap, so I'd keep it just in case .........
