Description

RWS Punktkugel Nr.12 4.55mm Tin of 250

This vintage tin of RWS Präzisions-Rundkugeln (Precision Round Pellets) represents a classic era of German airgun ammunition manufacturing. Marked as Punkt-Kugel Nr. 12 and sized at 4.55 mm, these pellets were originally designed for precision shooting in match-grade European air rifles that benefitted from slightly oversized ammunition for optimal barrel sealing and accuracy.

Produced by Dynamit Nobel AG in Troisdorf, the tin contains 250 precision round pellets, typical of RWS’s early-generation packaging. The bold green label and traditional insignia reflect RWS’s long heritage in producing high-quality sport-shooting ammunition.

While modern performance specifications are no longer available, this tin remains a desirable collector’s item for airgun historians, vintage ammo collectors, and fans of classic RWS branding. It offers a unique look at the craftsmanship and design standards of German pellet production from an earlier era.
