7.63 mauser ammo

[crispy]

A long time ago I acquired some ammo for what appears to be the old broom handle mausers. I can’t find much info about these little ammo boxes, so I thought I’d ask here.

Note: One of the boxes was already open when I got it and it seems to have mixed headstamps in that one. Some are marked 44 while other don’t have anything on them. The other 3 are still sealed and I have no intention of opening them.

Now I could be completely wrong on my assumption as well. Thoughts?

The folks at this website appear to show the same ammo and say that it's for the 7.63 Mauser Pistol.
They say it's Dutch.
I have to wonder. Are they asking $1 per round ?

hmm. i saw that website earlier. i thought it was odd they were selling 1 round at a time if thats what theyre doing. otherwise ive never heard of ANYONE selling a box of ammo that old for just a buck haha.

I'm no expert on collectable ammo.

This website suggests the ammo was repackaged by the Finns:
