Product Description
Original 1898 7×57mm Mauser military cartridge, manufactured by Keller & Co. at Hirtenberg, Austria-Hungary.
The distinctive headstamp reads H 19 98 K&C, with K&C identifying Keller & Co., H representing Hirtenberg and 98 giving the year of manufacture as 1898.
This marking belongs to the transitional Keller & Co./Hirtenberg period; documented examples of this pattern date from after January 1897. The cartridge features the characteristic early long, round-nosed jacketed projectile and brass case.
A particularly attractive late-19th-century military cartridge, now over 125 years old, with a clearly readable manufacturer and date headstamp.
