    Left tin is Romanian 7.92x57, and the right tin is Albanian 7.62x54R.

    This makes sense because in his collection are at least one VZ24. There are 4 Mausers if you don't count the two Siamese Mausers both of which are immaculate. So 6 all together.
    Should I buy them for myself, or help an old mn sell them?

    It works either way, the ammo is likely good so he gets the cash either way. You get a smack of useable ammo...

    Any ideas on the value of these unopened tins of ammo?
