German boxed 1940's SMK ammo, worth?

Indeed, nice boxes.
Note you have 2 boxes of S.m.K.-V (verbessert).
Those were designed for aircraft use, and have a heavier load (and other powder) than the regular S.m.K.
See attached datasheets of both the S.m.K and S.m.K.-V
for their value, a complete box (with all 15 rounds matching the label), a buck/round is a fair price here in Europe

Nice boxes.
If I see itcorectly, the tracer cartridges were made by „cdo“ (TheodorBergmann & co K.G., Werk Velten )
This company did not have a facility to make cases.
Most of the cases were delivered to “cdo” by “cg” (FinowerIndustrie G.m.b.H., Finow/Mark) or “eej” (Märkische Walzwerke G.m.b.H.,Strausberg Bez. Potsdam)
You can read it on the label.
