Hi Will..... :)

I checked my local reference material and I can't find that marking, but I'll broaden my search....

Any idea what period they appear to be from?

Regards,
Badger

Badger-They are fairly late issue(Post 1945?)I do not think that they are "Commonwealth"issue.Perhaps Italian or Greek??? Will

Greek chargers were marked HXP, so I doubt they are from Greece. I'm not sure who the maker is though...

You sure it isn't GVI?
GVI would indicate Tracer, Burning for 550 yds, Air service, White Tip, replaced GIV.

There's also a GMkI marking found on ammo and chargers, also indicating tracer rounds.

[Will Durant]

I doubt that the clip/charger would denote thetype of ammunition.Fabricator,yes.Will

[Claven2]

Perhaps yes, perhaps no. If loaded with tracer, I would suggest that increases the change the charger would be marked - but I admittedly doubt that GMI is the same as GMkI.

The stripper clips marked GM I, GM II, GM III, GM IV, GM V are made by the Italian company "Ditta Gigollo & Martinelli" The have been all over eBay for a number of years now.


Ok Ok maybe I should stop reading old topics :-D
