But there is 2 markings that I was'nt able to identify. Both are from 1943, one manufacturer is CMC (on top, year each side of the primer 19 43), the other one is 1943 on top, P A (each side of the primer, possible manufacturer coding??) and both have 7.92 D stamped at the bottom. Can these two manufacturers be Romanian? If someone have information on WW2 Romanian ammo coding, I will like to know if I can shoot them, or keep them preciously!
