This lot features a sealed pack of U.S. military .22 Hornet M65 ammunition, consisting of 50 cartridges produced in January 1959. These cartridges were developed for use in the M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon, a lightweight combination rifle and shotgun issued to U.S. Air Force personnel for emergency survival situations. The .22 Hornet chambering provided small game capability in a compact platform, making it an essential component of survival kits during the Cold War and early Vietnam era.

The ammunition is contained in its original factory-sealed cloth pack, marked with military contract information and lot designation details. The packaging is also marked with Vanpak Prod. Inc. and Plastic Film Co., indicating period-correct military contract packaging. The cloth wrap remains intact with visible age-related wear and staining consistent with long-term storage, but the seal appears undisturbed.

Given the sealed condition of the pack, the cartridges are presumed to remain in good condition internally. This is a scarce and highly collectible example of U.S. survival ammunition, particularly desirable for collectors of military small arms, survival equipment, and Cold War-era gear.
