Need Help on Some WW2 Dated 9MM Luger AMMO.

[dgradinaru]

Well i was cleaning out my ammo safe and i found some old 9MM Luger ammo that had World War II Dates. I know some of the ammo is German but im not to sure about the other stuff.

This is what i have:

10rnds Dou 41*90, 1rnd St 43, 5rnds BI 40 P, 4rnds Vam 42, 86rnds DI 43, 4rnds RM B-43, 60RNDS Gfi 9M38 1941, 4rnds p120 38,15rnds 42 dnh*2.

A total of 189 Rnds.

Whats the ammo Worth??

Interesting ammo.

It would be worth considerably more if it was in the original small cardboard boxes still.

I'm not sure if loose WWII ammo has become collectible yet, there's still lots around, but I'm sure there are some folks who would be interested in buying it.

Good luck!

I wil do my best to identify the rounds for you, but I cannot read the headstamps on my screen and some of the descriptions are a little vague.

However, here goes:
dou - German Type M.E. steel core made by Waffenfabrik Brun (the old Czech military factory)
st 43 - that is just the German code for a steel case made in 1943. It should have a manufactures code.
BI 40 P - not sure on this without seeing a clear picture but I think it is probably Yugoslav.
vam 43 - Again need a clear picture. German code "va" is Kabel und Metallwerke, Nuremberg.
DI 43 - Canadian military made at Defence Industries.
RM B-43 - Italian military for the Beretta M38 SMG made at Pirotechnica Bologna. R.M. is the inspectors initials. These are hot loads.
GFL - Italian military for the Beretta M38 SMG made at Guilo Fiocchi, Lecco. Again hot loads.
P120 - WW2 German made by Dynamit AG formerly Alfred Nobel AG.
dnh - WW2 German made by Rheinisch Westfalische Sprengstoff AG (RWS)

None of it is highly cllectable but there are plenty of collectors who would like to have a look at it to see if they are missing any of the manufacturers/years/lot numbers.
