Picked this up at an estate sale. Blanks, but for m1898 Krags and loaded during WW2 (1943). Cases made by Winchester, loaded by Frankfort Arsenal. Thanks for looking.

Very nice. A few thoughts, blank ammo desireable to cartridge collectors due to salute regs. WW2 dated stuff rare. After WW2 blanks were recycled, thus factory reloaded blank boxes had mixed headstamps, dates, manufacturers. WW2 exhausted blank supplies. To this day, 30.06 blanks are being reloaded by .gov for funeral ceremonies. Boxes of WW2 dated .30 cal Blanks are rare, Krag even rarer.
