30-06 surplus?

[yotebutcher90]

The headstamp on the ammo reads DEN 43 and are in M1 Garand stripper clips, I'm just wondering if these have any value and whatever else you can tell me about it.

I don't know the collector value, I have a few of my own put up, But I can tell you that its corrosive.

.30-06 Denver Ordanance, made in 1943, very corrosive. Value? maybe $1.00 a round if they aren't in a box. *maybe*.

If the tips are painted black, that denotes AP ammo, which would help a lot in how desirable it is, and the $$ its worth.

Yea it's still in the box, have a GI strap with all but one of the 7 full.

black tip?

in the box it might be worth something to collectors. Maybe $2 -> $3.

maybe more for AP.

Surplus 30-06 brings 50-65c a round regularly, AP will bring more, since its corrosive a lot of ppl wont shoot it...but WWII collectors may want it to go with a rifle the'yll never shoot anyway....since it sounds like its in clips in a bandolier....that could help..if its original, if its not then no real gain IMHO

I got 2 cases of non-corrosive AP ammo from the CMP last year.

Jesus, I remember when .50 BMG ball was $1.00 a round.
What a world.

Same here. What's it coming to?
We used to shoot M2 Ball and M2AP like it was free. It was very cheap and we thought it would never end.
Now we hoard our real USGI stuff and shoot the Greek ammo at .50+ per round. Jeez.

OP if that were my ammo I would hang on to it. It came from a time when our Country and the Free World were in a great struggle for survival. It's history.

Unforunately they do not have black tips
