Ammo Question - What Have I got here and what is the value - 01/07/20 11:11 AM

Friends,

I have approx. 670 rounds of 7.65 x 54. All in good shape. What does this go to and what is the value of it all?

Thanks!

It's for an Argentinian Mauser, early 1900's

F.M.C ‘S.F’ (Fabrica Militar de Cartuchos San Francisco)

The San Francisco Military Factory, was located in the province of Cordoba, Argentina and produced a variety of ammunition, although the initial main production was that of 9 x19mm Parabellum. Upon closure, manufacturing was transferred to the current FLB (Santa Fe) plant.

This is a match cartridge designated "Especial Concurso SS" and was made in 1976 by Fábrica Militar "San Francisco" of San Francisco city, San Justo department, Córdoba province, Argentina. The brown color was a post-1971 code for match ammunition (previously used for proof) and replaced the previous identification code represented by a small dot in the neck. This is the last year it was made and the only one in this caliber using the new code.

So basically you have a bunch of 1970's match grade ammo. Probably would still go bang, Others can chime in with more info.

Looks to be some corrosion going on with a couple of those rounds. Have you pulled any apart to check the bullet and powder for corrosion inside the case?
