Very interesting!
Are the 2 packages for the 8 x 56mmR Kropatschek, Portugal (8 x 60mmR)? See http://iaaforum.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2680 ,

The use of old documents to pack cartridges has been mentioned before (I cannot find the info at this moment) on the IAA Forum: https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/
I highly recommend that you also register on the IAA Forum and post your questions, information and pictures there.

Here some discussion from the IAA Forum:
" Portuguese Arsenal History
Dear Telmo, Bom Dia! e Obrigado.
Thanks very much for your translations of Portuguese Arsenal Histories, and the exact dates of General production.
One point I didn't mention, many years ago, I bought several Hundred Packets of "Cartuchoes 8mm M/99 com bala simulada" (Wood bullet Blanks)
and these came in a standard Portuguese Crate, but with paper as Packing inside...the paper, when opened up, was found to be pages from an Arsenal Letter-Ledger (Copia-Lettere) covering the period 1808-1812 (Napoleonic Wars) and mentions (in French, handwritten) such items as Flints (in kegs) prepared cartridges (Paper, powder & Ball) Muskets, articles of accoutrements (Cartridge boxes, belts, and tools) and so on. There were also pages from the Wages Ledgers, denoting payments given to arsenal workers, such as Lock makers, Filers, Stock cutters, etc.etc
Sadly, the owner of the gunshop, on being told the contents of the papers, kept them...not even a substantial cash offer would move him.
Welcome to the Forum.
We now have a connection to get further clarification regarding several periods of Portuguese Cartridge History.

Thanks for your help Brian.
The 2 boxes are 8x56R kropatschek, the red one is "bala simulada" (wooden ball).
I'm already registered in IAA and already read the threads about Portuguese kropatschek.
That's what I'm looking for, old records found inside kropatschek ammo crates. Old documents and records, boxes, stamps, etc etc....if someone else has this kind of stuff, please let me know.
