Romanian 7.92x57mm Mauser Ammunition Spam Can, 320 Rounds
Sold for: $160
Description
A partially opened Romanian 7.92x57mm Mauser ammunition can, containing 320 rounds of ammunition. This lot comprises a rectangular, olive-green painted metal ammunition can, partially opened along one edge, revealing internal packaging. The can is marked with black stenciled text: “7,92 LPSGS md 71”, “S28-78-22”, “VT 9/78 U”, “340 buc”, and “PE LAME”. Translated, “340 buc” indicates “340 pieces,” and “PE LAME” suggests “on stripper clips.” The markings indicate a production date of September 1978. One small, opened cardboard box is shown extracted from the can, containing five cartridges held together by a black metal stripper clip. Each cartridge features a greenish-gold casing, a red sealant band, and a copper-jacketed projectile.
Condition report:
The outer metal can shows signs of being opened and minor wear consistent with age and handling. The visible cartridges and their immediate internal packaging appear clean and well-preserved.
