8mm Mauser Ammo

[Calif-Steve]

"Another was the SmK Leuchtspur (Leuchtspur meaning tracer-- Spitzgeschoss mit Stahlkern und Leuchtspur) bullet that burned for 900 yards. Tracers were usually loaded every seventh round in automatic weapons." It is AP-Tracer, not rare but indeed neat. It looks like this stuff was made in 1941. I can not tell for sure where it was made. Exactly what is on the headstamp?
