I ran across someone selling this ammo. Not sure if it is worth more to someone who wants to collect it or someone who whats to shoot it. What do you guys think its worth?
6 packs of 8 rounds per pack. Head stamp has a V a 3 and a 4
3 packs of 10 rounds (2 5 round stripper clips). Head stamp has a VIII 1934 and a Nazi eagle and what looks to be a swastika.
Top is 30-06 Garand en-bloc clips in a bandoleer. Commonly referred to as a battle pack.
Bottom is en-bloc clips of 8x56r Steyr. It is a swastika. Made by the Nazis.
As for value I will leave that for others to determine.

not sure on approx value, M2 Ball ammo is getting hard to find, ans that 8X56 is even harder to find. I would hold onto it a little longer. I have some 50's Egyptian 8mm that im holding onto as well as some wood bullet training 8mm.

Yea, hard to say. There are some places that still are/were selling the 8 x 56R ammo. I think they do have some Nazi stamped stuff too. Last I recall was buymilsurp.com. But they were sold out last time I saw it. I bet you could get a hit in the Garand forum for head stamp info.

buymilsurp.com has 8x56r for $40 for 25 rounds loose. $10 for the en-bloc clips. Thats retail.
The Garand clips have many different prices.
Did you want to sell this stuff?

Yes. I don't have anything that will shoot it. I was going to put it on Gunbroker one pack at a time but would rather just move it all at one time.
