Nambu Ammunition Value

[Kaisersosay]

I have a couple of boxes of Japanese Nambu ammunition that I will be looking to sell. Can anyone give me a fair value on what I have? Pictures are attached. Also have an unfired Nambu that I will be posting photos of. It too will be for sale.

Box dates to November 1944. There is still quite a bit of the ammo around but not near what there used to be. Last I knew it was a $1 per round with the box adding to the total value and this was awhile ago. All depends on condition too so a pristine box is worth more. So I maybe way off but I would hazard a guess of $20 to $30 a box depending on condition.

Welcome to the forum Kaiser;
Bruce gives a fair price, the boxes are in fair condition so to a collector of this type of munitions it would be up to what they were willing to pay the old supply & demand thing what you have to do is put a bit of a higher price and be prepared to haggle but have a base line that you set not to go below if you put say $50 on the better cond packet & $40 on the 2nd one you have some wiggle room & so does the buyer.

It is collectible ammo but it may get interest from a shooter who wants the brass for their pistol I am unsure whether Nambu ammo was boxer or berdan with mecuric primers.........!

[Bruce McAskill]

Berdan primed and corrosive. So if someone shoots it then clean the pistol accordingly. New 8mm Nambu ammo is available now. FMJ and boxer primed for reloading and non corrosive.
