Law/Patents - Military / Defense / Colombia | | Spanish term or phrase: tarro | Document is from Colombia. There's not a lot of context. What I have is a list of weapons and weapon-related items that includes "granadas de mano, cartuchos de 556, *tarros* de 556, AK nuevo 762, Galico, *tarros* de 9, revolver S&W."
Thanks in advance for any insight you may have! |

Post War Ammunition Boxes. By the early 1950’s new models of ammunition boxes were developed to replace all of the types used during WWII. The older type boxes had rectangular ridges, large lettering, Army Ordnance Corps markings and model numbers embossed into the metal. The tops were generally shaped to receive the base of another box of the same type for better stacking. Post war models would be simple in design and more rugged than the wartime boxes.
