Heres My contribution. All CAC Colonial Ammunition Company Manufacture made in New Zealand.
The 1921 packet was rescued from a fire 20 years ago along with a few more the same. It was an estate being prepared for auctioning and the rocket scientests in charge were stripping the rounds from the packaging, throwing them in a box to be sold and burning the wrappers as they went:tinysmile_angry_t:.
The remainder I have just acumulated over time.
All contents 100% live and legal to own in NZ.

Very nice packets, I particularly like the 1925 one marked "Nitrocellulose". I have an example of this round in the collection and it is quite unusual to see VIIz loaded at this date. All the UK production was cordite.

Are these just paper wrappers that wrap around the rounds and tied with string? Is there any other wrapping involved?

 

[Andysarmoury]

Hi Yes the rounds do have a peace of paper in between them keeping them apart.
