All the old Nazi stuff seems to be collectable these days . Not sure what the value would be.....?
It looks like ammo for the Steyr Mannlicher M95 in 8X56R. It's not common and there are a lot of the rifles around so you'd have no problem moving it. I'm out of touch with the pricing, but I wouldn't take less than $15.00 per clip if I were you. It's probably worth more.

I paid around 160 bucks for 10 complete boxes a year ago. They are by far the most common ammo that you can still find in box from the era. I sold one of my boxes for 30 bucks, but its not unreasonable to sell one clip for 15 bucks.

As mentioned 8x56r, very common surplus ammo in that condition.
I purchased a lot a couple years ago of about 160rds on the clips for 160$. Personally I would say 10$-15$ a clip loaded would be a fair price (the Mannlicher clip itself being worth 5-10$, and the rounds being worth about a dollar each).
As to rifles it can be used in there is two main rifles which will take it. The Steyr M95s which have been converted to 8x56r (most of them were converted and are fairly common and inexpensive), and the Hungarian M35 (a pretty rare rifle).

Years ago, we bought thousands of rounds of this stuff. Interestingly, the headstamps were of pre occupation, and post, with the cartridges from both eras sometimes being on the same clip. Hot ammo, for sure! They really roar in those little old carbines.
