CZ made 8x57 Swedish contract 1941-42

[Fson]

Found some single card board boxes with CZ made cartridges meant for the rifle m/39 (K98k) and Kg m/39 (Mg 26(t).

Amf 33 was the Swedish factory code for "WAFFENWERKE BRÜNN", and the "E" for "ersättningsmaterial" replacement material, here steel cases.

Repacked in Sweden in 15 pcs boxes.

Very cool. These nickeled bullets made for the Swedes showed up in German issue ammo as well.

That's right, some years ago I got a large stock of Waffenwerke Brünn Werk Povazska Bystrica cartridges from 1939.

I have found crates and packages like this several times during the years. There is also equal items to find with German text, then produced after 1940. Will post pic's wenn I find the boxes.

I have doc's telling the Swedes bought millions of 8x57 cartridges 1940-1942. Add to that a lot of other material such as 10,5 lFh 18, 37 mm Pak, 20 mm Flak, pistols, rifles, lMg etc etc, but that's another history...
