Historical Background

The 9mm Parabellum cartridge was standard ammunition for the German P08 Luger pistol during the First World War.

By 1917, German military ammunition production had adopted the round-nosed projectile in place of the earlier truncated-cone design.

This example represents German ammunition manufacture during the third year of the First World War.
