Product Description
An original inert German 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge bearing the dnh St 6 1943 headstamp. This is a genuine Second World War military cartridge manufactured for the Wehrmacht during 1943, when German arms production reached its highest output.
The dnh manufacturer code identifies Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoff A.G. (RWS), Werk Durlach, near Karlsruhe, Germany. The Durlach works, previously associated with Gustav Genschow & Co. (GECO), became one of Germany's leading producers of military small-arms ammunition. The dnh code was used on 9mm Parabellum, 7.92×57mm Mauser and other military calibres supplied to the Wehrmacht throughout the war.
