german 8 mm rifle rounds

[josephc]

picked up for my display; can you tell if this is truly german military issue from 1940s?

[harryamb2]

imo yes.

Yes, 1940 - fur Mg - for machine-gun - the sS (ball ammo) projectile is a little heavier than the Fur Gewehr ammo.
$15-$30 per box - your box is a little salty - look under the lid there should be a date pressed into the cardboard, too.
