Greeting fellas
I found two rounds dated 1915 in a trench that I assume was used in both WW1 and WW2, because In it I also found german rounds, and because the older rounds had an extraction rim, not grove like the WW2 casings.
Specifically the ww1 head stamps read (from the 9 o'clock position clockwise) 19/XI/15/CR (superimposed) and the round itself has that elongated Carcano-like bullet. Who is the manufacturer according to the superimposed CR letters? And am I right in my assumption of a trench seeing two world wars or was this trench perhaps captured from or seeized by WW2 Russian troops using 30 some year old ammo?
