No 2 is indeed a .303" blank made by Kynoch in 1915 from reject Mk VII ball cases
No 3 is the 7.5*55 GP 11 Schmidt Rubin made at the Government plant in Thun Switzerland
No 4 is an original 7mm *57 Mauser with the 173 grain round nose bullet made by DWM at Karlsrurhe

that is fantastic, did they come from you? or Did I manage to delete a PM from someone else?? I don't see them listed on the lot you had for sale

Hi
Yes I had a few oddments lying around so I put them in with the ones you bought, with the exception of the 7.5*55 not sure that was me. They are getting rarer now as the last of the Swiss surplus has gone with the exception of a stock for use in their tank machine guns apparently.
