Surplus Sellier & Bellot .32 ACP (7.65 Browning) – 73gr FMJ
A time-capsule find from the early 1980s. This Czech-made Sellier & Bellot .32 ACP ammunition reached us exactly as it left the factory—sealed inside 4,050-round metal tins and packed in wooden crates stamped 4/83 (April 1983). The individual 25-round retail boxes inside are remarkably clean and like-new for their age. Packaging colors are mixed: red or green S&B boxes—we cannot honor color requests.
Why you’ll want it: Perfect for collectors, range days with classic Czech pistols, or anyone who appreciates high-quality, Cold War–era surplus. It’s functional ammo with a story.

Crate Info:
Why is the crate of ammo $999.99? This Warsaw Pact-era crate of 4050 rounds of 32 ACP weighs 82 lbs. and is shipped in a wooden crate. We are charged additional handling due to the excess weight above the standard. Also, to avoid charges, we pack the wooden crate in a cardboard box to avoid the extra fees of non-standard shipping containers.
Please NOTE: Due to the weight of this item, the delivery person will probably drop the ammo off at the farthest point possible. Be careful lifting! Most of the ammunition shipped was produced in the 80s.
Bring a piece of Cold War history to the range—while supplies last.
