Product Description
Original Austro-Hungarian 8×50mmR Mannlicher military cartridge, the standard rifle cartridge of the Austro-Hungarian Army during the First World War.
The 8×50mmR was used extensively with Mannlicher straight-pull service rifles, including the famous M1895, as well as the Schwarzlose machine gun. It is a distinctive large rimmed, bottlenecked cartridge and an increasingly interesting calibre for collectors of First World War ammunition and Austro-Hungarian militaria.
This example retains the characteristic long round-nosed projectile and brass case. The headstamp is divided into four sections, typical of Austro-Hungarian production. On this system, a Roman numeral denotes the month of manufacture.
The cartridge displays genuine age-related patina, marks and discolouration consistent with an original military example.
