Up for your consideration is a set of 3 empty reproduction M1911 .45 ACP 50 round ammunition cartons, with a late war WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS (WRA) label.

By 1940 it was obvious that Frankford Arsenal would not be able to supplyadequate quantities of ammunition should the U.S. get drawn into the war. The first contract to build up the stock of Cal. .45Ball M1911 ammunition was given to Western Cartridge Company in October 1940 for 50 million rounds. This was followed by a contract to Remington Arms Company for 71 million rounds. An additional contract was also given to Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and these were all referred to as educational contracts. In 1941 plans were made to open additional production facilities, which then became a priority after December 7th, 1941. These plants, in addition to some production at Frankford Arsenal, would for the most part produce the .45 ACP M1911 Ball ammunition required for WW2. By 1944, most Cal. .45 Ball production was drastically reduced due to lower demand, but by the end of the war over four billion rounds had been made. The 50 round carton was introduced in mid-1942, replacing the 20 round carton then in use.
