    How old are these pellets?

    See these in the US and always wondered if they are as old as they look.

    I would say 1930s but couldn't get much closer than that. Tell were popular from the very late 1920s and anything made post WWII that had an age to it would be marked 'Made in West Germany'/ Made in the GDR' or similar. They were evidently packaged for the English speaking world but by whom, I couldn't say.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    This is what the pellets look like apparently, so as flat-heads are they more likely to be post-war? I am not sure when "wadcutter" pellets were first introduced.

    It’s would make sense also since these seem to come up often for sale.
