I have an old Colt .32 1903. Mag had 5 rounds in it; three with a silver-colored bullet with "C F" stamped on the bottom, one letter on each side of the primer. 2 rounds are stamped "DWM", "K", and then "4794" or "47OA" (Hard to read). Can you tell me you made these rounds? Age? Country of Manufacture (I believe the pistol to have been originally sent to Europe, and was brought to the US around 1949)

  The two DWM rounds have some minor collector value - people like to find a 'set' of the DWM numbers, but I suspect that this is not one of the ones which brings much more than $1 or so a round. The french ammo is shooting fodder. I believe DWM dropped the numbered headstamps after the war, so this would mean those rounds date to some time in the 20s or 30s.
