Description
This lot consists of a group of 80 rounds of centerfire rifle ammunition manufactured by Sellier & Bellot. The ammunition is 7.62x39mm caliber, featuring 124-grain (8.0g) full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets and brass casings. The cartridges are housed in four original olive green and tan cardboard boxes, each designed to hold 20 rounds. The exterior packaging is labeled Sellier & Bellot TACTICAL AMMUNITION and includes technical specifications such as Bullet No. 2907 and part number #SB76239A.
The cartridges feature Boxer-primed brass cases with visible headstamps marked S & B, 7.62×39, and the number 21. An internal flap on one open box displays a stamped code that appears to read 6 / 0 / 9 4. The boxes include plastic internal grids for cartridge organization. Sellier & Bellot, based in the Czech Republic, is one of the world’s oldest ammunition manufacturers, and this tactical line is identified by its distinctive military-style packaging.
Condition report:

The cardboard packaging shows significant signs of shelf wear, including surface abrasions, white scuffing, and staining consistent with age and storage (photos 1 and 2).
