Dear all,

I am writing you from Europe to get some help.
Do you recognize what kind of bullet this is?

Many thanks for any hints.

Best regards

Dimensions? Can you give us a pic of the headstamp? Can you give us a pic with this cartridge standing next to something well known?

And what is it that's written or engraved on the side? That makes me think it's some kind of souvenir or commemorative piece, and not a real loaded cartridge.
 
THe one attached before is the only picture I have.
Somebody already told me it could be a 7.92×33mm Kurz .
Do you agree? what do you say about the writings and the symbol on it?
It was on the balcony of a neighbour of a friend of mine and she was pretty scared so she took a picture. The neighbour is from Pakistan (I don´t want to seem racist, but it might be important for the identification).

I am attaching also a crop of the image.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Reassure her. Just the cartridge by itself, is not dangerous. Exactly how it got there, raises other questions.

Anything at all might come from Pakistan. Anything. Modern, antique, old commie stuff, NATO, anything.

Again, the writing on the side would be highly unusual for real ammunition, given that the cartridge case is basically disposable. I'm thinking it's a trinket, not real ammo.
 
It looks like a 7.92mm Kurz round for the original assault rifle -- the Sturmgewehr 44 of WWII vintage. The engraving on the side would indicate that it was turned into a memento of some sort.

Not dangerous in and of itself, possibly rendered inert before it was engraved. If it was thrown on the lady's balcony to intimidate her, however, that's a different matter.....
 
Thanks,

that´s what I supposed and NO, nothing was thrown on her property (black cats, horse´s heads or similar ;) .

If I'm reading the inscription properly, it appears to say "LIGHTER" on the bottom line, meaning that this may only be a lighter made to look like a cartridge, which is fairly common; perhaps a smoker swore off the habit and threw his lighter away as a way of making it stick?
 
A cigarette lighter is my guess. Notice the slight change in hue of the brass on the case wall just below the shoulder.
 
You Guys are GREAT!!! :eek:
SIMPLY GREAT :rolleyes:

I posted the same question on another forum ( ww2f.com ) and you got it first!!!

1-0.

You are simply amazing!!!

I´ll tell the friend of mine, she will be definitely relieved.

Thanks again

"I´ll tell the friend of mine, she will be definitely relieved."

But she should be TERRIFIED!!! Just as terrified as if it were a real cartridge!

She obviously thought that it was going to go off on its own accord and slay 173 school children and nuns when she thought it was a real cartridge...

Now that it's a lighter is she terrified that it's going to flick itself into operation and burn down a city block or more?
 
actually she was forecasting about 320 children, therefore she will be now relieved.

Thanks again!

A lighter is a much more dangerous thing than a cartridge … to have laying around with children present.:)

Well, I’m disappointed. I thought this might be a fishing/advertising thing showin’ off how cool their lighter is and how it even looks real to the gun guys.;) … with a free lighters for everyone playing the game ! :cool:
