Mystery 30-06 Headstamps

Here's a softball for someone out there, I'm sure. Anyone know what these headstamps mean on these 30-06 shells I ran across? These three are all I have and it had me curious.

Thanks!

Well I feel silly. These are 8mm Mauser rounds, not 30-06 :banghead:

Yes sir your right. WW1 8x57 Mauser.

Gen. Hatcher theorized that at least some of the M1903's blown up during the Twenties were for just that reason.

Well that's intriguing. I'm glad I made the mistake so you'd bring that up. Definitely interesting.

We've gone round about that here before too, I still have a doubt about chambering them in 30 cal chambers but I think he said the chambers were enormously worn...
