Description
A full and sealed Chinese Norinco 7.62x39mm ammunition spam can, containing 550 rounds. This rectangular metal storage box, likely constructed from galvanized steel or similar sheet metal, is of utilitarian, military style. The lid features Chinese characters translating to “Common Type 2 (Copper) Ammunition, Total 550 rounds,” alongside numerical markings such as “2/1-542,” “71,” and “21-72-3141,” suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century origin. A rudimentary metal pin handle is secured to the lid with twisted wire.
