The clips alone at $3 each are worth $273 plus the ammo and I am sure he could sell those clips for at least $5 each.

A slight miscalculation, I think: 61 clips @ 3 = 183. 61x6 uncommon bullets = 366. Say another 100+
All in, I would go to about 300, matching the opinion of a couple of other contributors. If the ammo works, that's a bonus, but I wouldn't count on it.
Sorry guys. Pics from rural auctions are not always the best. That auction was a prime example. Auction flash was poor, so the cartridges and clips did not stand out well. The clips were for a Sayre (SP?) and had the nazi markings on the clip and on the cartridge base and dated 1939. I even sent the auction image to a friend of mine who collect cartridges and he took a SWAG they were carcanos .Quote:

Wrong Steyr, but the clips are about the same, (8mm has windows) even if the ammo is different:

Yes, they are 8mm Steyr. I have a couiple of boxes laying around here but nothing to shoot them from.
The whole lot went for $15. I could have bid the old guy up but I know this guy and we would have got into the hundreds of dollars and then he probably would have dumped them on me!
