I just purchased some 8mm ammo at the gunshow today and the headstamp is unfamiliar to me. I will try to get a pic, but maybe this description will suffice.
Brass case, copper fmj, the primer has 3 stake marks, the headmark is 12 at 12 o'clock and 55 at 6 o'clock with a star at 3 and 9 oclock.
Any info would be very much appreciated. The ammo is clean and cheap. The packaging is a 15 round packer which states:
7.9 mm puscani metak
15 kom
sa univerzalnim zrnom
Barut Nc-05
Ser.5435 (Star symbol) 12-1955
where I typed star symbol is actually a star symbol
I imagine that 12- 1955 is manufacture date, but not for sure who made it
Let me know what you find out.
Thanks in advance.
