Markings on Eastern European ammo spam cans.

[stchman]

I Was wondering if someone has an idea how to decipher the freaking hieroglyphics on Eastern European ammo spam cans.

I just bought some 7.62x54R that arrived in spam cans. All I can tell from the markings on the spam cans is the bullet diameter (7,62) and the number of rounds (440). Nothing else, no date, no case length, just a bunch of jibberish.

I don't understand why they use a comma instead of a decimal point.

Thanks.

It isn't jibberish if you are from Lower Slobbovia.

Europeans use commas instead of periods for decimal points because they like it that way.

The comma is only a comma when it is "english" and a select few other languages. Since the writing isn't english, it isn't a comma.

If you want an actual answer, maybe you could take a picture of it. Hieroglyphs are sort of a visual thing.
