Product Description
Original First World War Austro-Hungarian 9×23mm Steyr military cartridge, manufactured by Sellier & Bellot at Prague, Bohemia, in February 1917.
The headstamp is particularly attractive from a collecting perspective and reads II / 19 / 17 / SB. The SB identifies Sellier & Bellot, while 19 / 17 gives the year 1917 and the Roman numeral II records the second month of manufacture – February. This exact headstamp format is documented on surviving 9mm Steyr ammunition manufactured by Sellier & Bellot while Bohemia formed part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The 9×23mm Steyr cartridge was associated principally with the Steyr M1912 / Steyr-Hahn service pistol, an important Austro-Hungarian military sidearm of the First World War.
This example retains its original brass case and characteristic round-nosed projectile and shows an attractive aged military finish.
