A friend gave me a large sandwich bag of 8MM this morning. Can anyone identify the country of origin? Brass case and FMJ. Probably corrosive.

The one on the left is from Israel May 1956 and the one on the right is German from June 1935.
Israeli is Boxer Primed (reloadable), but Corrosive primed. Good brass.
German is Berdan, Corrosive primed, but also good brass. Tula Berdan primers (Dagammo.com) KV762N is the correct size and type (.217", Rifle strength). Not June 35, but Lot 5, 1935 ( Germans went by Lot numbers, Not Months...many more lots than 12 months)
