I've seen a lot of WWII and Vietnam-era 45acp in 50 round cardboard boxes, but the 20 round boxes like that, that I've seen, have always been pre-WWII.
I'm not an expert or a serious collector, but I've handled and seen a fair amount over the years. I have seen the "45 A.C." headstamp a few times but they're not very common. It's an early headstamp. Most of what I've seen in the long 20-round boxes have military headstamps with the year. They've all been WWI to 1930's, and they all had the same "Disposal of empty cartridge cases must be made according to army regulations..." on the back.
I have a half dozen or so similar boxes, but for some reason can't remember where I put them right now. That's embarrassing. I'm too young to be forgetting everything, I think...
I second that! Thanks again for the education:]I am sincerely impressed by the depth of knowledge here. Thank you.
