Product Description
Original 8mm Gasser (8×27mmR) inert cartridge, a classic Austro-Hungarian revolver cartridge dating from the late 19th/early 20th century.
The 8mm Gasser cartridge is particularly associated with the Rast & Gasser Model 1898 service revolver, which was extensively used by the Austro-Hungarian armed forces and remained in service through the First World War era.
This example has a brass rimmed case together with its original-style lead projectile. The segmented military-type headstamp remains visible, although some of the individual characters are worn and therefore no specific manufacturer is attributed.
Approximate measurements:
Bullet diameter: 7.9 mm
Case length: 26.5 mm
It displays genuine age-related patina, marks and wear, making it an attractive representative example for a WWI, Austro-Hungarian or obsolete-calibre cartridge collection.
