I hate spellchecker, it's supposed to be Hirtenburg.
I'd like to say hello as I'm a new member, I'd also like to revive an old topic about this ammo
Today at work a co-worker gave me a box of 9mm ammo. I googled it and an old thread from here popped up in the results.
Let me describe what he gave me. It's a small white cardboard box containing 59 rounds of 9mm ammo. On the outside of the lid it says: 50 Rounds, 9mm Ball, L7A1 on a white paper label. At the bottom left corner of the labor is the NATO headstamp and at the bottom right is simply a solidblack circle. Where the lid closes is a other paper label that says HP 05/90 (Obviously the date of man.) When the lid is raised there is more writing in black letters that says SV3890 top center, HP bottom left and 90 bottom right.
The ammo is really clean and nice. It appears as standard 9mm NATO ammo. Cases are relatively clean as are the bullets them selves. The primers pockets and primers are sealed with a red sealant and the primers themselves seem set deep in the pockets. The entire primer is not covered with the sealant,just down the sides of the pocket and around the edge of the primer and after looking at quite a few of them I noticed that they seem to have paid a lit of attention to detail in this operation.
On the head are these markings: NATO headstamp, HP, 90, and L7A1.
My understanding of the older (2006) thread is that with these markings these are some sort if SMG round? With super high pressures and that they're quite rare? Don't worry, I don't think I'm sitting on a goldmine, that's not what I'm thinking in the least, just curious.
Thanks, and, Hello to everyone.
Bill
