Today's pick-up

[François B.]

Here some lovely boxes I picked up today....
All boxes are with the original rounds...

The first one is a beauty of 9mm Pistolenpatronen 08...

[François B.]

All rounds are clean and minty

[François B.]

The second one is not so good as the other...

But has a label on it, I have never seen before. Also 9mm Pistolenpatronen 08
Made by kam

[François B.]

It is coded with a three letter code kam.
That was the factory Hasag Eisen und Metallwerke, Werk Skarzysko-Kamienna located in Poland.
You can see the letter (p) after the 08 on the label refered to Polish.

But the rounds are minty....

Live ammunition or deactivated?

i believe they call this a "go no go" guage,,looks like a cartridge but
A Go NoGo gauge (or Go/no go) refers to an inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances. Its name derives from its use: the gauge itself has two tests; the check involves the workpiece's having to pass one test (Go) and 'fail' the other (No Go).
It is an integral part of the quality process that is used in the manufacturing industry to ensure interchangeability of parts between processes, or even between different manufacturers.
A Go NoGo gauge is a measuring tool that does not return a size in the conventional sense, but instead returns a state. The state is either acceptable (the part is within tolerance and may be used) or it is unacceptable (and must be rejected)....hope this helps,,,Robert

Francois, I really like the Polish 9mm box produced under German occupation...Very nice...BILL

[François B.]

Thanks Bill, I am very pleased with those boxes. Especially the Polish one..
First one I have ever seen, and now it's mine...

Ramjet these are live ammo, I have a permission to collect them.
I am member of the NVBMB member of ECRA.


And for Robert, I thought that Go Nogo gauge had a different shape?
This one is stamped Ex that means Exerzier in English drill.
I could be wrong.......

Go/No-Go guages exist, but this is not one of them. This is a drill round (exercise round) for safely cycling the action to check for proper function of the weapon.
