Tom a friend of mine has almost 12 cases of the 8mm ammo. Several are the sealed crates that are still 100% intact.

Tom I am in Dallas Texas and it looks as though your in Europe so I'm not sure what the import laws are on Ammunition. This was all part of a collection of a machine gun collector that passed away a few years back. He purchased a large bulk of the ammunition that was all military surplus out of Finland in the late 50's.

I collect handguns mostly so my friend told me about it because he knew I would want the case of 9mm WWII ammo since I have a lot of WWII German handguns. The bulk of my collection is actually old Smith and Wesson and Colt revolvers though.

Great 'battle pack' pics.

Lovely Radom.

Thanks, the P35 VIS (Radom) is one of the finest pistols ever made. I have a half dozen of them all in excellent mechanical condition and I pick them up every time I find one at a good price in good condition.

Hmmmm I guess it will be difficult to import the ammo.....

How much would you want for a crate anyway

Tom the crates of 8mm are selling for $1,500 but I fear the shipping would be more than the ammunition cost. A crate weighs in the 60 pound range.

Some other ammo photos I was playing with.

Lol - the FG is not original, (Shoei movie gun) - I have a very small collection of battle packs and ammo - so I thought I'd make the pictures more interesting for the members here -

Those crates and packs of Logictox are just spectacular -
When I approach old collectors they just laugh and say: yes, they shot all that stuff as cheap ammo and burned the crates.

My collection is in California, so I can just look at the Lspur battle pack (under the belted black tips) - possession of tracer being a felony in CA, something to do with forest fires (I do have some 15 rd empty boxes, three different colors in my 8X57 collection, just no actual ammo.)
