7.92by57 Polish mauser Ammo Need Help

Savage11 · 07-24-2013, 06:57 PM

Hello all,

My wife's boss gave me 1000 rounds of 1937 Polish mauser ammo for my K98K mauser rifles. I can't figure out what the color codes around the primer indicate. Some are red, green, and blue maybe black. Thanks for your time.

Thanks Frogman,

I'm not 100% sure if the codes are the same for Polish k98k ammo.

That ammo could be worth something to collectors.

I'm not sure what it maybe worth. I more or less will be using it for prepping. Then again if it is worth more than $10.00 a box I may reconsider. Some of the boxes have stripper clips as well. Where would I find a value on the ammo?
