Product Description

Original Second World War German 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, manufactured in 1942 by Dynamit AG at its Empelde factory, near Hanover, Germany.

This genuine wartime example features a distinctive blackened projectile and a steel cartridge case, characteristic of German ammunition production during the Second World War.

Headstamp Identification

  • emp – Dynamit AG, Werk Empelde, Germany

  • 42 – Manufactured in 1942

  • St+ – Improved-strength steel cartridge case

Historical Background

The 9mm Parabellum cartridge was standard ammunition for German military pistols and submachine guns, including the P08 Luger, Walther P38 and MP38/MP40.

During the Second World War, German ammunition manufacturers increasingly employed steel cartridge cases and iron-cored projectiles to conserve strategic materials such as brass and lead.

The distinctive black projectile finish is consistent with German 08 m.E. (mit Eisenkern) ammunition, although the precise bullet construction has not been independently confirmed.
