    The Red "R-85" means the ammo was inspected ("Revised" or "Rivistu" ( "Inspected/ Seen" again)...I don't have the exact Romanian Language translation ( it is a Latin Language, and generally can be read and understood by both Latin-educated, or Italianicon speakers.

    Very good, if a bit Dirty on firing; Bullet very similar to the WW II Germanicon "SmE" Ball.

    Steel cases, but can be reloaded using Tula .217" Berdan primers. Ammo suitable for Older Turk rifles ( M1888/05/35, M1893/33).
