Very rare antique , sealed box, .380 French ammo ( 25 Rounds )
Description: Very Rare vintage antique sealed 1 box of French .380 CF ammunition (25 Rounds) The vintage antique ammunition box , labeled "25 Cartouches pour Revolvers Percussion Centrale," Translation: "25 Cartridges for Centerfire Revolvers" "French Ammunition Company" "30 Rue Notre-Dame des Victoires, Paris” The vintage antique ammunitionwas produced by the Société Française des Munitions (SFM), a French ammunition manufacturer. The address "30 Rue Notre-Dame des Victoires, Paris" indicates its location in Paris. SFM was established in 1884 through the merger of Gévelot & Cie and Gaupillat & Cie. The company specialized in producing cartridges for hunting, shooting, and military purposes. By 1898, SFM had expanded its operations to 50 buildings covering 7 hectares in Issy-les-Moulineaux, a suburb of Paris . This specific box , featuring the address in Paris, suggests it was produced before the company moved its operations to Issy-les-Moulineaux. Therefore, it's likely that this box dates from the late 19th century, possibly between 1884 and the early 1890s. The Box is in sealed condition ,photos show the condition , a nice collectors piece. Free shipping is included I’ll include a file photo of some open boxes that may indicate what the cartridges would look like with a box open.
