Product Description

Original First World War German 9mm Parabellum cartridge manufactured in 1917 by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) at Karlsruhe, Germany.

The headstamp reads DWM K 17 K, with the number 17 indicating the year 1917 and the letter K associated with DWM's Karlsruhe manufacturing facility.

DWM was one of Germany's most important ammunition manufacturers, producing cartridges for military and commercial firearms, including the famous Luger P08 pistol.

The 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge was standard ammunition for the Imperial German Army's Luger P08 during the First World War.

This example retains its brass cartridge case, copper-coloured round-nosed projectile and original factory headstamp, with age-related patina consistent with its age.
