The next example of military .38-200 ammunition is WW2 production manufactured by Dominion Cartridge Co., Ltd. of Quebec, Canada. This is also a 12 round box. Once again I don't know what the headstamp says as the box was sealed.

One wonders why that size/number of rounds was chosen. Two cylinder loads. Perhaps that was the limit of how many rounds could be easily carried in the P'37 ammunition pouch on the pistol belt.

This ammo was also very difficult for me to locate. This box came from my friend and fellow SWCA'er Dave Carroll.
