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.

best
