Spam can markings

[Buck Kramer]

I'm going to an auction with a lot of surplus ammo and rifles and the seller does not seem to know what he is talking about. He has 2 tins marked 7.62 <ZAK> but the markings dont look Russian. If it's 7.62x39 or 7.62x54R I would be interested, but they dont even know how many rounds are in the unopened cans. I'll include the link below, any help is appreciated.

If your google-fu is strong, you'll find it in the first page, if not, then the second, it WAS a common milsup, but not anymore

The Google-foo is weak with this one. It brought up a lot of 7.62x51 (.308) pics.....

...and now 7.62x54R stuff Albanian possibly?

440 rounds of albanian per can. Brass case and probably light ball.

Thanks, I'll see what it goes for.

These look similar, it IS some form of Albanian.

The only thing to watch with the Alby stuff is that they got ALOT of ammo from china, and it has been reported to be mixed in with local stuff
