Description
This is a complete box of 25 5mm pinfire cartridges, manufactured by Giulio Fiocchi of Lecco, Italy. Labeled “Cartucce a Palla m/m 5 a Spillo”, this box represents a later European production run of small-caliber pinfire ammunition, with all cartridges present and in solid condition.
The box features Fiocchi’s green paper wrap and iconic “GF” shield logo. Structurally, the bottom panel has separated from the main body but remains with the box. These small-caliber pinfires are increasingly uncommon in full box form, particularly with intact labeling and original cartridges inside.









Hello, my name is Aaron Newcomer. I am a collector and researcher of early 19th century breech-loading firearms systems, with a particular focus on the work of Jean Samuel Pauly and Casimir Lefaucheux. I collect cartridges and documents related to these types of firearms and conduct research on these topics, furthering my understanding and knowledge of these historical firearms and their place in the evolution of firearms technology. My collection and research reflect my dedication to preserving and understanding the history and technical innovations of these early firearms systems.
