I'm sorry, I wasn't suggesting that the case isn't German...it most definitely is. I was trying to say that it does not look to be a legitimate German military dummy. It might help if you could measure the length of the cartridge case and confirm that it is 57mm. I've come across a few 7.65mm Mauser dummies which have been formed by shortening 7.9mm Mauser cases by 3mm. JimThe case def German though.
I am sorry, but I forgot to add the head stamps. :tinysmile_kiss_t4:
