Found ammo

[mjrducky]

While talking with my Grandfather we came across some old Ammo he had.

He has some strange ones in a box for sure but the 9mm intrigues me the most It's headstamp says NWM 58 9mm.

Anyone know any more about this? Looks like made in 58 in the Netherlands-Holland. Possibly for the Navy?

NWM = ederlandsche Wapen-en Munitiefabriek NV., "DE KRUITHOORN, 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.

Could have been manufactured for anyone. Are there any other ID marks on the box?

I think you cut off a letter:

NWM = Nederlandsche Wapen-en Munitiefabriek NV., "DE KRUITHOORN, 's-Hertogenbosch

Google Translation:
Weapon and Ammunition Factory Netherland NV., "the powder horn, 's-Hertogenbosch

Extremely corrosive ammo. Send it to me for proper disposal.

Is it 9x23 Steyr? Or does the box indicate 9x19 Parabellum?

The box doesn't have any markings to speak of. There's pencil writing I can see parts of under the tape and a green label on the closed end, but it to is under the tape. Looks like they were sealed this way.

The headstamp just has 9mm, however I'm pretty sure it's 9x19.

Thanks all for the info and translation.
