Offhand, I'd guess WWII or later.

Probably July 29, 1969 by the date code on the flap.

Could you share the info on code breaking?

It's sort of complicated, but I have it. The leading letter determines the year and whether it is the first half or the second half of that year. The other letter designates the month. The number is the day of the month. The year letters cycle every 11 years. Winchester's date code is similar but not identical. Sometimes the date code uses other numbers to indicate the loading line.

Show us a head stamp , usually military ammo has the letters indicating where manufactured and two numbers indicating the year of production .
Could be RA - 69 or something like that .

Head stamp is R A 69.
Don't need a magic decoder ring to figure that one out.

Summer of 69
Maybe these were one of the things a 10 year old (in 1969) Bryan Adams liked about the year, enough to make it a song?
