First off if this in the wrong forum, sorry Mods, feel free to move it just figured this would be the best place to get lots of views.
My wifes grandmother was cleaning her closet and gave me some old ammo that was laying around, mostly some old hunting rifles shells and some leftover handgun ammo (32, 357 mag)... Anyway in the pile was a small cardboard box holding 16 rounds of ammo. I am trying to ID it, it appears to be old and maybe german. I am thinking it is 9mm but since I don't have a 9mm I can't tell for sure. I took some pics but my camera doesn't like to do closeups I guess
The shells are labeled: "14 44 am st+"
The box label is not easily readable but what I was able to pick up is fragments:
" -patronen 08" and "1944 am 30" and "08 -1912 faa 298-"
Can anyone tell me what they are?
The box:
A 40 s&w shell on the right for scale:
