I have got 5 boxes of 8mm Mauser ammo from WWII, I suppose, and of course some of it has the green corrosion around the primers ans some doesn't. They are boxes of 15 count in brown paper. Can some one translate the end flap?Attachment 275115

IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
Patr. Is short for Patronen, meaning cartridges. S.s is Sharf/spritzer meaning pointed. It was loaded in 1934. I would guess that the numbers below that relate to lot number. The manufacturer is probably S.K.D.-- would have to research that.
Thank you.
