Hey everyone.

I would like to share with you some ammunition that has come into my possession in that last year.

My grandfather called me up and said,

"Young man, can you come over. Someone give me some bullets they say are for Chinese rifle."

So I went over and lo and behold I was presented with 2 15 round boxes and 9 rounds on stripper clips of 6.5x50sr/Jap.

A little background, my grandparents are Chinese and these rounds were given to them by a friend. He found the rounds and gave them to my grandfather because he didn't want nor need them and he figured since the characters on the box were of an Asian language that my grandparents were the proper candidates to receive them.

I've been told it was made in November 1941 at Tokyo First Army Arsenal. So Pre-Pearl Harbour which is interesting.

Any more information if there is any would be awesome. Also value wise what would these be worth? I'm Canadianicon if that makes a difference.

Thanks.
