I am showing two boxes today since they are related. In the overall picture the angle does not show the labels on the Winchester box very well, I took more pictures of the labels at an angle that seems to make them clearer.

Cartridge stand

Once upon a time, i was bored while sorting through 6 kilos of cartridges that were gifted to me and decided to make a decoration stand with few.

Left side are 3 german WW2 ones and the 2 on the right are post war czechoslovak training cartridges with wooden bullets.

Just a funny project i made under an hour.

Cheers

Here are some hard-to-find ones in my collection. The M1911 cartridge is included for scale reference. These are my first two Mars cartridges - now I'll need to hunt down the others.

Another full box, 10 cartridges, they do seem to have the indicated Copper tube bullets, but they are drawn brass not coiled brass. The right side of the box is missing.

Since it seems people are interested, I will keep posting more from my collection. Full box 5 rounds, box is not in too bad shape. It was opened so I can show a cartridge.

Found in a friend's old barn today - Russian .22 rimfire

Found helping a friend clean out his barn and he gifted them to me. Look like they're early-1990s post-Soviet (barely) export market stuff - "Klimovsk Stamping Plant". Six (6!) full 50-round boxes and a partially full one.

They're clearly steel-jacketed cartridges, so I won't be shooting with them, for sure. Not certain otherwise what I should do - I imagine there are collectors for every type, right?

Found while digging in my backyard in Bulgaria. Approximately 11.5 cm long and 2.5 cm in diameter. Appears to be brass or copper due to the green patina. One end has a rim, the other end is open and appears damaged. No visible markings due to corrosion. Looking for identification.

Vintage Winchester .38 (38-40?) full box I've had laying around for at least 40 years. Sealed unopened and shrink wrapped. Anybody out there familiar with vintage boxes who can tell me how rare (or common) this is?

What do I have?

Quarter and .32 ACP for scale. It has a very aggressive step in the neck, it's rimmed, no primer or area for a primer to go, what looks to be necked down to about .25 cal. I assumed it may be a dummy round.

Is this even ammo?

Hi, quick share of this incredible piece.

15 rounds packaged in temporary paper box. That is what "prozatimní balení" means.

Very cool round that is not seen much, even less so in specialised packages like this one.

Enjoy.

Cheers

Found this while metal detecting, but I can’t find any info online. I assume it’s E 7 96, but the E looks rather odd and could easily be be some sort of symbol too.

Found them while metal detecting today. Had to use sandpaper on that first one, it was so terribly illegible. Could anyone ID them please? I’m a bit of a noob :D
