8mm Nambu

[Master Shifu]

Did the original packaging of WWII Japanese 8mm Nambu rounds come in a plastic and cardboard pack or just in cardboard packaging?? I have a pack and was wondering if it is indeed in original packaging

Cardboard. Modern collectors commonly wrap the original cardboard in clear plastic to preserve the WW2 era cardboard.

Post a picture of the box you have.

Also know, that there are repro 8mm Nambu boxes out there. Mr.Nambu who reloads new 8mm Nambu had a bunch made for him. He's a genuine legit guy, BUT some have been sold from third parties as originals.

This is what an original box of 8mm Nambu for the T-14 looks like

Looks like it might be, the characters look a little different but still japanese.

You have the 8mm Nambu packaging for the T-14 pistol.

The one GOEX FFF posted is for T-94 pistol.

Both are the same 8mm Nambu (8x22mm)!

Master Shifu - 1937! That's a nice older one.

thanks for the info guys, Last question is something like this worth keeping or would be better to sell it. I don't have a nambu pistol nor do I see one in my immediate future to be part of my collection.
