Collection: TZ Ammunition Collection – Israeli Military Industries

This collection showcases ammunition marked TZ, produced by Israeli Military Industries (IMI), one of the Middle East’s most prominent ammunition manufacturers. Established to supply the Israel Defense Forces, IMI became known worldwide for producing high-quality, reliable small-arms ammunition across a wide range of calibres, including 9mm, 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and specialist military loads. The TZ headstamp is closely associated with IMI’s production during the mid-to-late 20th century, especially through the Cold War era. Each cartridge in this collection reflects IMI’s reputation for precision engineering and robust military design, offering collectors and researchers valuable insight into Israeli defence manufacturing. Featuring variations in dates, calibres, and load types, these rounds provide an excellent reference for studying modern Israeli ammunition development. Ideal for display, study, or comparison, TZ-marked cartridges form a distinctive and highly regarded component of any serious ammunition collection.
