    Need Help With 9mm Headstamp

    Does anyone recognize the headstamp on these 9mm rounds?
    What I'm seeing is a Delta or triangle, the identification of 9mm and what is probably the year of manufacture which is 89.

    At first I thought it was 68 but when put in its proper orientation it became obvious. My friend gave them to me. They're in a box from office staples so there's no identification or lot number accompanying them.

    I'm am assuming they may be some type of surplus? based on the primer sealant but I have no idea. They are rather tarnished so I'd like to have an idea what they are before I clean them to use. Also the weight of the bullet would be nice to know. If they can't be ID'd I'll pull them down for the components.

    Thanks for any help, Bill

    Looks like Norinco, probably 124gr. Some was reported to be corrosive, IIRC.

    Well that's good enough for me thank you gentleman.

    I don't use comblock ammo in anything I own. I'll pull the heads, get a confirmation weight on them and toss the rest. Reason being, I'm in the process of loading up some carbine rounds with bulk brass most likely range pickups. ALL the Chinese brass is in failure after a single firing. I don't expect any great things from this brass either so no reason to play with it waiting for a case failure.
