    Need Help Identifying Swiss Ammo and Stripper Clips/Chargers

    Hello,

    I picked-up these stripper clips/chargers loaded with what I believe to be 7.5 x 54.5 Swissicon
    Cadet M90/23 FJRN. The headstamp on all the ammunition is is "D 4 S 24" . Do I have these correctly identified? Also, how common are these? Thanks for the help.

    Could you take a photo of a cartridge that isn't angled?

    With the round nose, they look like they are the old pre 1911 cartridge which would make them GP90's. I don't know how rare they are, they are around but they are out of production for many years. Good for fellows with the older 1889's if they still shoot.

    That is definitely GP-90/23 ammo. Pretty rare, I personally have never seen any (I don't go to many gun shows however). The chargers themselves are worth a good amount let alone the ammo for them.

    My sincere thanks to all of you who have replied. I don't plan on shooting the ammunition, but will just probably add it to my meager collection of old ammunition.
