Value of WWII .30 Carbine ammo?

**kikokat** · 04-19-2010 11:01 PM

Would appreciate any input/opinions as to the value of Lake City .30 carbine ammo in 50 rd boxes. Haven't seen it yet, but the gent who's selling it says the boxes are dated 1943/1944.
Thanks in advance for any help.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It depends on the condition of the cardboard and what is inside. Sometimes I've been scoring nice boxes, but the brass inside is starting to develop that green tinge! It's a problem, as I want to clean the brass but don't want to open the box to do it !!!!! See if you can get some pics of what he wants to sell. The box shape appears to have changed as the lot numbers increased. There are a few guys around who are interested in collecting info on this subject, I'm one. Cheers and Good Luck ! Mike.
