Lot 667:
210 Rounds of 8mm Mauser Ammunition on Stripper Clips with Canvas Bandoliers
Sold for: $130
Description
This lot consists of 210 rounds of 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm) ammunition, identified by web consensus as Turkish military surplus. The ammunition is organized onto brass five-round stripper clips. Each cartridge features a brass case and a spitzer-style projectile with a silver-toned jacket, typical of cupronickel-clad lead core bullets. The collection is housed in tan canvas bandoliers. These bandoliers are constructed with multiple tiers of pockets, each secured by a fold-over flap and a metal snap fastener. This specific pocket configuration and canvas material are characteristic of mid-20th-century Turkish military issue. The lot includes enough bandoliers to accommodate the total count of 210 rounds as provided in the user facts.
Condition report:
The ammunition and brass stripper clips exhibit a natural aged patina and varying degrees of surface tarnishing consistent with surplus storage. The canvas bandoliers show light surface soiling, minor fraying at the seams, and some oxidation on the metal snap fasteners. The material remains flexible and the snaps appear functional.
