7,92x57 HP from 1907, ID needed.

[Costas]

The left cartridge looks like a Hollow Point and is very similar to LE-type, but 07 year is stamped on the case bottom. ID please.

Hello Costas,
Interesting cartridge...
I had a look at this website : http://home.scarlet.be/p.colmant/index_3.htm, and this headstamp with this kind of bullet is not known.
On an other website : http://8mauser.selfip.org/, they said that the LE cartridge is 2mm shorter than an M88 cartridge, maybe a good clue.
On this wwebsite, there is also a picture of an LE bullet tip, does yours have a copper disk in through the hole?
Regards
Laurent

As I know, the LE were in loading after 1915. My case is from 1907.

it could be possible that the bullet was load on an older case, measurment or a x ray could confirm the kind of bullet...

What you have is a hunting round loaded on a M88 case.
Bullet type 3de on the right.
