7.92mm i.d. please!

[Depotman]

I'm no expert on small-arms (prefer something 'meaty!), so would appreciate i.d. on this 7.92mm headstamp.

The reference book I have says it was made by Poltewerk,Grunberg,Poland,later code was auy.

P154

The address of that branch of Polte is normally given as Nordbahn, Germany, which is just north of Berlin.

Your case is copper washed steel, but as I don't have the list of steel mills etc. to hand, I will leave it to others to tell you where the steel came from and other details.
