Identifaction of 8MM

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.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The one on the left is from Israel May 1956 and the one on the right is German icon

from June 1935.

Israeli is Boxer Primed (reloadable), but Corrosive primed. Good brass.

German icon

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)
