Product Description
An original inert German 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge bearing the fb St 3 1942 headstamp. This is a genuine Second World War military cartridge produced for the Wehrmacht during 1942, a period of rapidly expanding German ammunition production.
The fb manufacturer code identifies Mansfeld A.G., Werk Schönebeck/Elbe, Germany. The factory was one of the Wehrmacht's recognised wartime producers of 9mm Parabellum ammunition and supplied millions of cartridges for German military service. Surviving examples show production in both brass- and steel-cased variants, with St steel cases becoming the standard during 1942.
