One box/20 cartridges, of Frankford arsenal "Pistol Ball Caliber .45 M1911 Ammunition Lot F.A. 1301". It's unopened and the cardboard box is in excellent condition. I have no idea as to worth, but I'd be more interested in a trade of some sort than money.

What you got?

I have several boxes that seem the same but are marked WCC. Mine have 50 rounds in them.

Got a box of 20 rounds dated pre-WWI; unfortunately a couple of the rounds decided to commence self-detruction due to corrosive elements, heh, heh.

I shot a few FA 43 lots of airdropped to French Resisntance ammunition with a case that is not made of brass.

They all fired without any problem 50 years later and all cases were broken in length after shooting.

Those 45 ACP cases were made of steel.

I had a friend in the late 60's early 70's that used them for bullseye shooting. He reloaded them several times and they always worked fine.
He used a carbide sizing die and a little case lube.

The best thing about them was that he could pick up his brass at a Match with a magnet mounted on a broomhandle... Cool
