    Seeking fans of wartime 6.5mm, 7mm and 8mm calibers

    Recently purchased a quantity of WWII vintage ammunition about which I know little as a collector. My primary interest has surrounded the M1 Garand, but now I find myself in unfamiliar territory. All are in original boxes of varying preservation, but some of the items are marked:

    6.5 Pirotecnico Cabitori 1943
    6.5 Patronen ST 17/ST 20
    6.5 Carcano 1936 on stripper clips
    7.65 Argentine/Belgian Mauser FMMA on stripper clips
    7.92 Mauser 8.57 Patronen 1933 w/clip
    7mm DMW 1938 on stripper clips
    7mm Mauser military
    8mm PMK Tropical AVU black ring
    8mm P163 1939
    8mm P162 1940
    8mm P490 1940
    8mm Patronen s.S. P25 1939
    8mm Patronen s.S. P162 1940
    8x57 Mauser 04-60
    8mm AP tracers SMK tropical
    8mm DOU 1944
    8mm Lebel R1 S1 39

    If you recognize any of these or need additional info/pics to help identify them, I️ would be most grateful to learn.

    The 6.5 ptr m/17 sounds like the Swedish m/94 blanks…ammunition intended for the m/94 carbine rifles used for ceremonial use and for shooting salute.
