        Could be post war Finnish or any other country that used German weapons afterwards.....Is it Waffen proofed any where, like the starter tab for instance?......Bodes

          In addition to Waffenamt code, what others code must be stamped in the tape if it's german WW2 time?
          Tomorrow I ask to the seller what marks are present in the tape.

            Hello Daniele,

            From what I can see, it is post war. The connecting link is a hook, so post war. All the rounds look post war also.

                    Searching ammo belt I found this interesting thread:

                      Wartime ammo pictures.

                      Couple of images for future reference, two pictures of the base of an earlier and later wartime cartridge.
