Can anyone id this head stamp and it has three primer flash holes, it had considerably more muzzle blast than NATO standard marked rounds. would it be for machinegun use?
The below info copied from a 2009 post by Lew on the IAA forum, in it 63 indicates the Iranian year 1363 which equates to 1984/85.
Just found what I was looking for. The following is from a real expert in Iranian headstamps!
At the top is the emblem of the Islamic republic of Iran and is a graphical composition of
لا اله الا الله ( the Arab Muslim's motto ) . at 9 o'clock 63=84 is the year of production . at 3 the letter ص (Saad)
stands for صنايع ( Organization ) .
at 6 the letter د ( Daal ) stands for دفاع ( defense )
So it was produced by the Defense Industries Organization in 1984.
