    8mm ammo heastamp identification

    I am hoping someone can help identify the origins of some 8mm that I have.

    8mm tracers are head stamped FN 69, packed loose in 100 round cardboard boxes (factory not just a box). I assume Portugese.

    Regular ammo in 80 round boxes that came out of a tin can from inside a wood box with hemp rope handles, head stamp FNM 70-25 all in 5 shot stripper clips. Again, I assume Portugese.

    8mm with a silver projectile head stamped 48 PS star 5. This, I have no idea.

    Thanks in advance.

    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.
