WW1 7.92mm

[Bullet Mick]

Hello i picked up these WW1 German 7.92mm rounds and im looking for a bit of help. Ive found that S67 means the cartridge case alloy 67% copper, the other numbers are the month and year of manufacture and the G is Wrttembergische Metallwarenfabrik, Geislingen/Steige. Its the markings on the bottom of the bullets i can find no info on. They all look to be the same stamp but some are not as good as others. Any help would be great. Cheers Mick.

There are two kinds of bullets.
One with a mix from lead and antimony, one with only lead.
Around 1917 the Germans stopped hardening the lead of the S bullet that was normally 2, 5 % of antimony.
The character was chanced from gothic / non gothic and the other way around.
