Has anyone ever seen stuff like this? It is WW2 Russian 54r ammo, made in 1939, captured by the Finnish and repacked in their boxes. The Finns marked it as 'steel' and 'heavy ball' per the translation my dad gave me (he is Finnish). I am curious to see what the value is or if anyone has ever even seen any?

Yeah, I have seen it, more often it is 7.62x25 I see though.
Century had some .30 luger ammo packed that way at Knob Creek. All of this odd ammo has to be coming from the old SAMCO stash. |

Shows the fundamental failure of SAMCO - plenty of cool inventory that they couldn't capitalize on

They even had 30 carbine in 100rnd bags. I wish i had the money for some of it! |

Big text on big box translates roughly as: Because of danger of rusting, these should be shot by latest during 1945!
Cool find! |
