WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS 7MM MAUSER CARTRIDGES
PACKETS MANUFACTURED FOR THE MILITARY OF EL SALVADOR –
20 ROUND PACKETS PRODUCED IN 1950: These
packets were produced in 1950 by the Winchester
Repeating Arms Company for the “Gobierno De El Salvador”
– the government of El Salvador - for use by their
military forces in any one of several rifles which may
have been in their inventory at the time. The 7mm
Mauser, also known as the 7mm x 57mm, has been a long
respected cartridge by both military forces and
sportsmen, and has a long history of service.
I have acquired a small number of these packets and all
but a couple of them are sealed and present in virtually
“like new” excellent condition such as the one pictured
in the photographs below. The labels are fully intact
and legible. The packets retain their shape, the edges
and corners are sharp, and if there is any soiling from
handling, it is very minimal.
This is a very interesting production by Winchester and
one which I’m sure might have an interesting history.
This is an excellent packet and would be very
displayable with any of the South American Mauser
Rifles. (0305) $65
