This original Chilean military ammunition lot contains a total of 500 rounds of FAMAE-produced 7×57mm Mauser military ball ammunition, manufactured in June 1972 (Lot 65). The ammunition remains housed in its original military configuration with thirty-two factory 15-round cartons for a total of 480 boxed cartridges, plus an additional 20 loose cartridges inside the ammunition can, bringing the overall count to 500 rounds.

Each factory carton is prominently marked with the FAMAE (Fábricas y Maestranzas del Ejército) crest and labeled "15 Cartuchos de Guerra MAUSER Cal. 7mm." Production markings identify Lot 65 with a June 1972 manufacture date, while the packaging also specifies the use of Belgian spherical powder (Pólvora Esferoidal Belga), reflecting Chile's use of imported propellants during this period.

The cartridges feature brass cases loaded with full metal jacket military projectiles and were manufactured for Chilean Army service in Mauser rifles chambered for the historic 7×57mm cartridge. This caliber served Chilean armed forces for decades in various Mauser rifle models and remains highly sought after today by military surplus collectors and shooters of vintage Mauser rifles.

The ammunition is housed inside a genuine U.S. military M2A1 steel ammunition can, providing excellent protection and long-term storage. The can shows honest military storage wear while remaining solid and fully functional. The original factory cartons display expected age-related handling wear, staining, and shelf wear consistent with more than fifty years of military storage, but remain an impressive complete presentation.
Complete military packs of Chilean FAMAE 7×57mm ammunition have become increasingly difficult to locate, particularly those retaining their original factory cartons and military packaging. This 500-round lot offers an outstanding opportunity for collectors of South American military ammunition, Mauser enthusiasts, and surplus ammunition collectors seeking an increasingly scarce Cold War-era military issue package.
