Product Description
Original First World War German 9×19mm Parabellum inert cartridge, manufactured by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) at its Karlsruhe works.
The clearly visible headstamp reads:
DWM K – 8 – 17
The DWM K marking identifies the Karlsruhe factory, while 8 17 indicates that the cartridge case was manufactured in August 1917, during the First World War. Contemporary German 9mm cartridges with this exact headstamp format are documented by cartridge collectors.
This example retains its brass case and characteristic round-nosed jacketed projectile. Germany had moved from the earlier truncated-cone 9mm projectile to a round-nosed pattern during the First World War, making the projectile style appropriate for a 1917 example.
An attractive 109-year-old Imperial German ammunition collectable, particularly suitable for a WWI, Luger P08, German militaria or specialist cartridge collection.
