1943 Box of 9mm Ammo

I've had this box for almost 40 years. The cardboard is very fragile. Taking it out to document here was the first time I've done so in probably 15-20 years. We fired the missing rounds around 1980 with my Uncle Frank's Luger he captured during the Bulge.

I'm just documenting the box here for future reference, but any and all comments are welcome.

 

I know I'm probably years too late to ask, but does anyone have a good way of stabilizing the cardboard?

Another shot of the box and the headstamp.

The last time I saw the Luger was about 2000. Uncle Frank left it with me for a while, and I left it with my Dad when I moved to California. I'm not sure what happened to it after they both passed away. I have pictures of it somewhere but have not been able to find them. I'll post when I do. By the way, we used an Ayatolla Khomeni poster as the target, and I nailed him in the forehead on my first shot!
