Was just presented some new looking made ammo. Received 54 rds on 5 rd Mauser 98 stripper clips. Here is a picture of what I just received.
For 1947 ammo looks really new even if just out of spam cans (unknown).
7.9 x 57mm cartridge cases are from Turkey as signified by the star & crescent in the headstamp surrounded by the letters " T C " which stand for “Turkiye Cumhuriyeti” or the Republic of Turkey.
The letters " FS " stand for the ammunition production facility in Turkey, the exact meaning remains uncertain but suggestions are Fisek Sirket or Fisek Sube i.e. Ammunition Company or Branch. And as expected the “1947” in the headstamps tell the year of manufacture.
Picture of headstamp off the web for comparison.
Did just notice that some of the case necks are cracked. Just need to find another Gewehr 98 like I had shortly last fall here. Bazar did have some WWI German 1918 helmets yesterday.
