.22 Kurz?
I inherited some old boxes of German .22 Kurz. The cartridges have what looks to be a centerfire type primer in the rear. The rim at the rear of the brass appears to have been crimped around the metal which makes up the primer.
The box says:
RANDFEUER SINOXID PATRONEM
CAL.22KURZ
RHEIN:WESTF.SPRENGSTOFF A.G. NURNBERG
RAUCHLOS ROSTFREI
Can anyone give me an idea of how much these are worth? Thanks.

This is quite confusing? "RANDFEUER", means rimfire. "KURZ", means short.
It appears from the markings on the box, it should be just standard .22 short ammo.
It shouldn't have a centerfire primer. Could you post some photos of the ammo please? The only .22 centerfire ammo that I'm familiar with is the velo-dog stuff. Perhaps someone in the past put some velo-dog ammo in the box for some reason?0 -
Would need a good clear photo, both profile and case head (scanners work great for this).

There are 22 short CF cartridges, but I also agree with your translation of the box information
22 short RF, 22 short CF (22-3-30 Rook), 22LR RF, 22 XL CF (22-4-30 Rook), 22 XL RF, 22 Mag.0 -
Here's some pictures, sorry they're not great, but I had to make do with my cell camera. Just as a side note, the bullet attracts a magnet, weird huh?

Like you said, low grade photo's.
There were rimfires made that used a dished base, to try and insure that the priming compound stayed in the rim.
The bullet sounds interesting, from what I could see in the photo's I took it to be a shotshell.0
