Need help identifying old ammo and a magazine

Silvanus · Apr 6, 2013

Hi guys,

Does anybody recognize this headstamp or the magazine that contained the ammo?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

A couple of different views of the magazine would help.................

Looks to be from a WWII German Gewehr 43/Karabiner semi-auto.

8mm Mauser caliber from April 1944.

Scroll halfway down this page:

Yeah that`s what I am going to say, its a Gewehr mag & a 7.92x57.................

Thanks a lot! I didn´t even think about the G43, which I should have since there are not that many magazine fed rifles from that era

Those G.43/K.43 mags in good condition are bringing in the neighborhood of $200+ these days.

The ammo should be assumed to be corrosive; without the box, there is no way to be sure.
