For a time in the USA, the only place I can address in relation to the question, it was common for awhile. A lot of this Romanian 7.65 mm Browning ammo was sold surplus, and you could find these boxes at many Gun Shows.

Like anything else that is basically a one-shot deal, you don’t see them around so much anymore.

  • @ gyrojet: This is a Romanian made box with 7.65mm (7.65 X 17SR) rounds for the Romanian 7.65mm “CARPATI” pistol with aluminum frame. The two digit date of the year of manufacture is at 12 o’clock position and the caliber is marked at 6 o’clock. The ammo was manufactured at U.M. Sadu in Gorj county (Romania).
    The label can be translated like this:
    24 24
    Cartuse Cartridges
    Pistol Pistol
    7,65 mm 7.65 mm
    The 7.65mm “Carpati” pistol replaced in the Romanian Army (starting with the early 1980s) the old Russian made 7.62mm Tokarev pistol (TT-33) which fires the 7.62 X 25 ammo. Liviu 12/28/11
