Anyone know anything about these shotshells
Just picked up a load of old foreign 16ga paper shotshells. I believe they are 2&9/16" probably but I get blanked when I do any searching for them.
Here they are:
Any info about them is appreciated. Curious on the value as I may just resell them as shotshells are not my thing. I collect old ammo, I'm just not real particular to shotshells.

You have 16 gauge Standardized shotgun shells (normal schrot patrone) made in Powder Factory, Hasloch, Germany (Bavaria) or Pulverfabrik Hasloch. They have a rolled crimp and are 2- 9/16" long(65mm), and not 2-3/4" so they are early shells. The size of the shot is in mm 3 1/2 and 4mm, which 3 1/2 would be 4 shot and 4 mm is 2 shot. Europeans don't do much branding of their products, that is really an American thing, because i was looking for the manufacture of the German shotshells. I see one of the boxes is upside down and shows Jaja-Konig, most likely the manufacture. As far as being collectable, it's a hard sell as the boxes look more generic and 16 ga. is not all that common, and shells being 50 years old i hope they go off.

"thorhammer" nailed that one. Please let me know when you list some of them on the auction side. I would like to have three or four boxes of each to go along with my European made 16 gauge - SXS - double trigger shotgun.

Pretty neat!
I have a European double, a 12 ga. SxS in 65 m/m (2 1/2").
It is a little hard to find 2 1/2" shells in the US but I bought a bunch from RSR back in the 1990s.
I would think someone looking for some would give $15- $20 a box, even just for display.

If anyone is interested I ran an auction for 10 boxes of these.

Yes, we bought a batch of them, they were intended to go to an engraver that backed out evidently. We have a couple laser engravers here at the store so I thought we could do something with them, we just hadn't got around to it so we are just selling them.

They may have some more of the European made 16 gauge shotgun shells - BUT - BUT - the lot they put up on auction on GunBroker.com is gone - I bought them.

I'll run it back if there's interest. I don't sell much for ammo on here as it's not worth the time usually but if people are interested I'll restart the auction with the same buy it now. I have around 300 boxes of this stuff. Just message me if you want and I'll send you a link.
