What is this?

[Ponzerite]

I found two in the clearance bin at bass pro, who even knew they had a clearance bin? Anyway, no one knew what they were, guy gave them to me for my display board. Any ideas? Yes, they are bullets.

Looks like it might be an 8X56R Manlicher

But why the 1920 headstamp?

 

[beamernc]

Date of manufacture?

 

[Group23]

6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schonauer would be my best guess...

Can we get a side view? A measurement might help too.

I thought I had attached this before. It seems to me the forum is doing funny things. I'm on my phone and far from home.

Hard to tell what your markings are to know the exact headstamp, but it looks like the maker directly below this post. Is that a 'P' and stars on the side?


Here's something on the rifle it goes with:

Just got home and looked again with my high power peepers. 1920 @ 6.00. Stars at 3 and 9. Maybe an A with some sort of squiggle at 12.00. The overall look is like the 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schonaue mentioned above

Looks a lot like a Lebel cartridge.

It looks neat, too. When was it made, and where?
