assafx Posted 26 February , 2019 Share Posted 26 February , 2019 might be 6.5mm Mannlicher Schoenauer of the Greek army (i think i saw epsilon on the headstamp). Assaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assaf I thought that as a possibility for the lower round in pic 2, or maybe Mannlicher Carcano. The upper round in the same pic looks like 30-06 US. The round in the bottom pic has me stumped for now - the short neck and distinct taper doesn't look like any I know. I'd assume it's about 7,5 - 7,62mm calibre, but I doubt the bullet belongs.

Radlad Posted 28 February , 2019 Share Posted 28 February , 2019 Top one looks like .30-06 or 7.9 x 57 mm, can't tell either way Second one in the same photo appears to be a 6.5 x 54mm Mannlicter Shoenauer . (Base diameter should be 11.353 mm) Last one, I suspect is a 7.65 x 53 Mauser (Base diameter should be 11.887 mm) Case length and base diameter are always helpful when trying to identify cartridge cases Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
