    It looks like 8mm Mauser but that's my guess

    Yep 7.92 is really what 8mm Mauser is.

    Corrosive and Berdan Primed. Probably steel case also.

    These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.

    7.92x57 Romanian surplus, Berdan corrosive primer.
    Looks like this? Bottom line is the quantity ...”fara lame” = without clips.

    LPs stands for Light ball with steel core. I don't believe it is machine gun ammo. You will know with the first shot because the German WWII stuff was mighty hot!
