Description: Up for your consideration is a set of twelve reproduction WWII-era cardboard bandoleer lot number reference cards, three M2 Ball from the Denver Ordnance Plant in 1943, three M2 A.P. from the St. Louis Ordnance Plant in 1943, three M2 Ball from the St. Louis Ordnance Plant in 1945, and three M2 A.P. from the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant in 1945. The primary small arms rifle ammunition used by the U.S. during WWII was the .30-caliber round produced for the M1903 Springfield and M1 Garand. The ammunition came packaged in 20-round boxes, 5-round strippers, and 8-round enbloc clips. All packaging was required by Army Regulations to list the type of ammunition, lot number and manufacturer. The boxed rounds were easy to label, but the strippers and clips presented a unique challenge since they were generally packaged in a cloth bandoleer. The bandoleer had 6 pockets and a shoulder strap, and was a handy way to carry extra ammunition. A protective cardboard sleeve covered the bullet tips to prevent tearing of the bandoleer fabric, and a cardboard card containing the type of ammunition, lot number, and manufacturer, was placed in one of the pockets to meet the A.R. spec. After February 1945, the card was replaced by stenciling the information on the outside of both of the end pockets. Early bandoleers were made of khaki material, but later in the war they were changed to olive-drab.Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for one set of 12 cards, three of each label with hand-stamped numbers.
