very old 7.62x54r

[partial]

Acquired some ammo at an auction, which was advertised as 8x50r mannlicher, but it turns out to be 7.62x54r Russian.

The ammo is in great condition and has different head stamps, like VPT, SAT 25, 1917
I there any collector's interest in this ammo? or should I return it to the auction house?

Fire it off. No doubt a mosin can handle it

The letters “SAT” make it sound like it may be Finnish.

Don't come across alot of war or pre war x54r usually after war comblock stuff, could be worth a few bucks a round to a collector.

Thanks for the replies, I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.

As kjohn said it would definitely appear to be Finnish as they used both VPT and SAT as head stamps.
Here's a link to a great site the used to exist called 7.62x54r.net

htt ps://thinlineweapons.com/7.62x54r/7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAmmoID.html

I'd list it on the EE as im sure some collectors would buy some.
Do they look like these ?.

That's exactly like some of them look like.

Thank you for the link, this is a fantastic site!

I just realized that some of the ammo which is stamped 1917 is of German origine.

Using your excellent site, I was able to identify most of the cartridges.

Despite being "just" some Mosin Nagant ammo, I believe it is rather uncommon.

If you want to dig in to 54r a little more you can get this book as a digital file:
