My father in law and I were talking about how he needs a 1911 the other day and he said "I have some old ammo if you would like to shoot it."
I said "Sure!"
He goes back to the safe and hands me this!
And Here is the head stamp.
From my limited research, this is OLD military surplus ammo.
The Evansville Ordnance Plant closed in the late 30's from what I understand.
I have come to believe that the head stamp reflects the year of manufacture
It probably has corrosive primers, but I don't intend on NOT cleaning my gun after s range session anyway.
The question is: Is this worth something to a collector or should I just shoot it up?
