I'd be curious what an accurate caliper says about the bullet diameter on those..., GREAT GIFT!

A Search on the net turned up the following
After WW2 and being taken over by the Nazi the Czech factory was taken back and Nationalized to
Povazske Strojarne and the head stamp became PS after 1946
but unable to find what period this style of packet was made
I'm leaning toward the 60s-70s period

Povaske Strojarne produced sporting ammunition from c1948 until 1954.
