Product Description
An original inert Imperial German 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge bearing the C 5 1917 headstamp. This is a genuine First World War military cartridge manufactured for the Imperial German Army during 1917.
The C manufacturer code identifies Munitionsfabrik Cassel (Cassel/Kassel Ammunition Factory), one of the German military ammunition factories producing 9mm Parabellum ammunition for the P08 Luger during the First World War. Wartime examples bearing the C headstamp dated 1917 are well documented by cartridge collectors.
