    German for sure. Mauser ammo.

    EDIT: Actually, this is Austrian. Fabrik Wollersdorf in Vienna.

      Austria was part of Germany when that ammo was made, so yes, it was made in Nazi Germany. P635 is also the most accurate 8mm I have ever used.

            Thanks for all your responses. I think based off the history i might just keep it around as some cool nazi ammo. If i where to sell it what would be a good asking price? is it worth anything as collectable ammo or is it just shooting ammo?

              It is definitely worth something as a collectible. Don't shoot it.

                  you can buy a 300 round unopened battlepack of your ammo for $200



                  A single box - maybe $20

                    I believe there are still a few calgunners selling the 300 round battle packs in the $120 to $160 range.
