Product Description
An original inert German 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge bearing the am 4 1941 headstamp. This is a genuine Second World War military cartridge manufactured for the Wehrmacht during 1941.
The am manufacturer's code identifies Gustloff-Werke, Otto Eberhardt Patronenfabrik, located at Hirtenberg, Niederdonau (Lower Austria). The factory, formerly Hirtenberger Patronen-, Zündhütchen- und Metallwarenfabrik A.G., came under German control following the Anschluss in 1938 and became a major producer of military ammunition for the German armed forces.
