bonus photo of the exact outfit that i took at the Taboo show :3

Four boxes have these labels:

And these stamps on the bottom:

And this stamp on the inside flap:

The other four boxes have this label:

Two of them have this stamp on the bottom:

And the other two have this stamp on the inside flap:

So as you can see something went wrong with the aesthetic by 1939/1940.

The three different kinds of boxes have two different loads in them.

The later boxes are headstamped S* 2 40 P163 and the earlier S* 3 37 P120, meaning 72% copper brass alloy, Lot 2, 1940, Metallwarenfabrik Treuenbritzen GmbH, Werk Selterhof and 72% copper brass alloy, Lot 3, 1937, Dynamit A.G., vormals Alfred Nobel & Co., Werk Hannover-Empelde respectively

Wie Spaß!

Here is a 1937 cartridge:

I should not find this as interesting as I do
