Need help confirming stripper clips

[mwrookie]

Hi everyone,

I am helping a friend go through some items. I have used a few sites for a reference, but before he sells them I would like to make sure they are exactly what we label them.

The first set of stripper clips are silver in color and stamped "FMMAP B", 2 of the stripper clips in this set are stamped "DM" are these Argentine Mauser Model Stripper Clips?

The second set is Stamped "SEY" and "Lufkin" are these 1903 stripper clips?

[mwrookie]

the third set has 1 stamped BGR 1 stamped IVI, a few stamped "A" and 3 that have no markings, but 2 notches on each side. in the 4th set of pictures all 10 stripper clips appear to have no markings.

the forth set has no markings, but they appear to be for Japanese Type 11 LMG or Siamese Mauser Stripper clips or Siamese Thai Mauser clips
Thank again for helping me ID all the stripper clips I listed.

On a side note can someone help let me know how to tell the difference between the Tokarev stripper clip and the Broomhandle stripper clip?

The SEY and Lufkin are US for the 30-06 cartridge. The Japanese Type 11 m/g used the standard 6,5 stripper clip for the Japanese rifles & carbine

"...for the 30-06 cartridge..." Which means they'll work with any cartridge in that family. .308 Win and .243, for example.
"...stamped IVI..." Canadian made for 7.62NATO, etc.
"...have no markings..." That's because they're considered to be Class 3 stores. As in not returnable. Just like socks.
"...FMMAP B..." Yep. 7.65 Argentine. That has the same case head diameter as the .30-06 and its relatives.
"...the Tokarev stripper clip..." The 7.65 pistol ammo is 1 thou different in rim diameter than the 7.63 Mauser. The 9mm Parabellum is 1 thou larger than the Mauser. Other than the material they're made out of, I suspect they're interchangeable. Liberty Tree has good pictures of all of 'em.

@rcs thanks for your help. Are those for the Japanese Type 11 LMG? From what I have been able to tell the 11mg, Siamese Mauser Stripper clips & Siamese Thai Mauser clips all look similar. Please forgive if if it sounds stupid, but I do not know anything about Japanese rifles.

@sunray The first 3 you listed all fall under the 1903 30-06 family?

Thank you everyone for your help. I have a few more that I will post later.

My Japanese stripper clip (which is brass) for the 6,5 Japanese cartridge is .66 inch wide and .165 thick. The Jap Type 11 machine gun used the same 6,5 stripper clips
as the Japanese rifles and carbines, the loaded clips were placed in a hopper on the machine gun

Your clips are not 7,7 Jap either but they do look like the type manufactured by Japan or from that part of the world

Thanks RCS, I put a mic to them, they appear to be .5330" wide and .1060" thick
