Hi, Does anyone have any photo's or drawings of a 1950's early 60's 9mm mk2z cardboard carton. So that I can make some reproductions for one of my boxes.

Hi Richard
Will take some pictures for you. Have both 50's and 60's. They are a very over engineered cardboard box. PM me with your email,
Cheers

Yes, I have plenty of labels for 9mm 2z. What exactly do you need? RG ball or Kynoch?

9mm Label

Here is the best I can do I am afraid. When I checked do not have a clearly marked RG ball label. Dummy yes, standard yes but not a ball label with the RG stamp on it.

However, this is an RG label, but the "RG" part of the rubber stamp was on the carton not the label!

Hi Tony, I notice the label number has a N prefix. Does that make it Naval?

Yes, that is a naval store. The land service box was normally 35 rounds, but I did not have an RG one to show. Silly really, considering it is the most common and I must have shot countless boxes over the years, but never kept a label.

As I said above, I have some of less common labels for drill, dummy, tracer and ballistic standards but not the common one.
