Really old 11mm Mauser ammo

[jclayton]

I have just acquired 5 boxes of 20 rounds each of 11mm mauser ammo. The boxes are dated 1885 and show that these are for the '71 Mauser. Considering the age, both boxes and cartridges are in fair condition. Maybe cartridge collectors might be interested. I'll take them to the Kamloops show at the end of the month.

That's awesome. I have one shell and I didn't know what it was till I asked here.

What is the headstamp on them?
