Product Description

Original First World War German 9mm Parabellum military pistol cartridge, manufactured in June 1916 by the Royal Prussian Ammunition Factory at Spandau, Germany.

The Königliche Munitionsfabrik Spandau was one of Imperial Germany's principal military ammunition manufacturers, supplying cartridges to the German armed forces during the First World War.

This example bears the S / 6 / 16 headstamp, indicating Spandau manufacture in June 1916.

The 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge was introduced in 1902 and became standard ammunition for the famous German Luger P08 pistol, widely issued to German military personnel throughout WW1.
