It's impossible to do such damage with a bolt action rifle, maybe with a Maxim when it was extracted from the firing chamber and still hot. Did it had the firing cap pierced? |

Yes, the firing cap was pierced. But this was an m93 6.5mmR romanian mannlicher cartridge case...did the Maxim gun fired such ammo? |

Romania bought before WWI 453 Maxim MGs in 6,5x53r from Germany. So it's plausible that a Maxim mutilated that cartrige.

...and a very interesting find, a k98 broken receiver, quite rusted. You can clearly see the damage done by a shrapnell or something, cca. 3cm of it is missing, along with the extractor claw.
