45acp steel cased ammo TW56 headstamp

[Dick Craig]

Gun shop trading in my past I acquired and still have 8 boxes of 45acp steel cased ammo headstamped TW56. Understand it was primarily for use in automatic weapons. Is there collector interest in it? I'm trying to clean out my ammo storage and years of stuffing it has created a problem.

There is not as much of it around as the WW2 steel case. It's from the last time the government was experimenting with steel case but they finally gave up on it. As it's non corrosive I would hazard a guess of about the same price as a box of some cheaper commercial ammo maybe?

Thanks, that is just about where I had figured it.
