An old man gave me some bullets which I can´t recognize. I think that were made in Germany, and they proceed of the Spanish Civil War, but nothing more. Anyone knows something about? Kind regards and thanks.

This is a coded head stamp from Germany, made for the Franco troops in Spain.

The “B” indicated the Polte concern and the “V” the plant were the cartridge was made.
In this case P345, Silva Metallwerke Gentin.
By rearrange the head stamp they indicate the lot number.

Those rounds were intended for use at a dramatic time in your country's history, nice find.
 
Thanks you very much, dutch11 and pitfighter. I always believed the same; those rounds were used in the Civil War. I´m very grateful for your extra information. Kinds regards.
 
Mauser_K98,

Could you please, make a picture from the clip and the package of the cartridges?

I don’t think I see this kind of wrapping before.

Thank you in advance.
 
Good nights, Dutch11. Here is the photo of the clip. Is the alone clip with its bullets. Then, I've uploaded two pics more, about two unknown clips. Do you know which are? In addition, I've uploaded a single photo of a bullet's marks which I can't recognize. Do you have any knowledge about them? Sorry If my English has bad quality. I'm improving it. Kinds regards.

Your English is much better as my Spanish.:thumbsup:

The 5 round picture shows a clip made by Polte Magdeburg.
The triangle 29 is German but is still an unknown manufacturer.
The PK clip is from Polish origin, made by Zadlady Amunicji Nr.1 Warszawa.

The last picture shows a Greek head stamp from the Greek Powder & Cartridge company, Athens.
I think it is a normal pointed (S) round and not a heavy ball (sS).
