Backtheattack Posted December 10, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 10, 2018 This are 9 mm Lefaucheux rounds. Think they are more common in Europe. It is a pin ignition system, you could load the rounds in a revolver drum, the pin looks out, and the hammer of the gun hits this pin. Ammunition was produced up to the end of world war 1, but manufacturing of the guns ended earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted December 10, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 10, 2018 Just to add, are you sure that is a standard WWII German Mauser cartridge? It appears to be something more like an 8x56mmR cartridge, like that used by Austria and Hungary in certain weapons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8%C3%9756mmR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted December 10, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 10, 2018 Wouldn't the be about the same size for comparison? Yes, I just meant that it is not an 8mm Mauser cartridge for identification purposes, in case you weren't aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
