    They are 8X56R M30 Mannlicher cartridges (aka 8mm Hungarianicon) for converted Austrian M1895 rifles and carbines and the Hungarian M1935 rifle. They were made in Austria in 1938 after the Germanicon takeover. Not 8mm Mauser.

    Oops!

    Thank you green.

    Found one on the net too.



    US$15.00

    Original 8X56R ammunition in 10 round boxes on loading clips. The clips are reusable. The box and each round are NAZI marked with the eagle and swastika. These are original late 30's manufacture. My experience with this is 95% will work. Due to the age of this ammo it is sold AS-IS. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON AMMUNITION. Will only ship to Continental USAicon Addresses.

    I always find it interesting that the Reich, the Austrian legions and the Volkssturm didn't manage to shoot all that ammo up in the dark days of 1945. Especially considering that ammo was minted pre-war in 1939!

    We still see quite a bit of that ammo in these parts. I haven't priced it recently but, I don't believe it's too bad-SDH

    The reason that ammo is still around is that great quantities of it, as well as large amounts of M-95 straight pull rifles, were provided to Bulgaria shortly after Austriaicon was annexed by Germanyicon. This happened around 1939, or 1940, before Germany had a desparate need for rifles of non-standard type.

    That ammo has recently sky-rocketed in price, even in the mid Atlantic region of the USAicon. 18 monts ago, it was $2.00 a box. Npw, $10.00-15.00 for the same box. Even brass is tough, but at least its re-useable. Grafs just got some more in. $55.00 for 100 shells. Better get it while yoe can!

    And the "eagles" are wauffens (sp) which were used as a stamp of approval. They also should appear on the Mauser rifle.
