Product Description
The INERT D.M. 8x57 M88 Round 1897 K is a non-functional, collectible dummy cartridge designed for historical preservation, firearm testing, and display purposes. Manufactured in 1897, this round is a replica of the early 8x57mm Mauser M88 cartridge, one of the first to be used in the German military during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This inert round is ideal for collectors, museums, and enthusiasts interested in historical ammunition and the evolution of military cartridges.
The 8x57 M88 round, also known as the 8mm Mauser, was developed for the Mauser Model 1888 rifle and became the standard infantry cartridge for the German Empire during the late 1800s. The 1897 K marking represents a specific production year and variant of the round, adding to its historical significance.
This inert version features an authentic brass casing and seated projectile, but it contains no gunpowder and has a deactivated primer, ensuring it is completely safe for handling. Some versions may include drilled casings or color-coded primers to clearly indicate the inert status.
Perfect for collectors, historical exhibits, and firearm enthusiasts, the INERT D.M. 8x57 M88 Round 1897 K is a rare and valuable piece of ammunition history.
