    K98 cartridges and clips

    Hello gentlemen,

    Yesterday I got some K98 clips and empty cartridges. These are my first and I am completely new into ammo so it has been quite complicated to get all info to see what exactly these are.

    I did figure out, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the P25 clip is from a company called Metallwarenfabrik Treuenbrietzen GmBH Selbaldushof, the P327 clip is from a company called Zündapp-Werke Nürnberg dated 1937. The mpu-c-44 clip is yet unknown to me.

    When it comes to the empty cartridges ten of them are marked ппу 8 x 5,7 JS and if I'm informed correct these are postwar Yugoslavian...or were these also used wartime already by the Germans (captured factories)?

    Fourteen of the cartridges are marked 22 71 and I couldn't find any info on these.
    Finally I have one cartridge marked P120 S* 2 40 which I assume is dated 1940. Any more info on these is very welcome!! I did check extensively the internet, including the K98 page, yet didn't find conclusive answers to my final questions.

    Thanks a lot for your time to help me out on these.

    PPU is postwar almost modern ammo, 22 is Romanian from 1971. The first one is a German ww2 one.

    The last stripper clip is strange to me, the rest is fine.

      Thanks a lot for your help!
      Anyone else knows more about the last stripper clip mpu-c-44? I assume 44 is the date but I couldn't find this maker?

        No one knows if this mpu-c-44 clip is genuine?

              Late in 1944 the Germans had problems to get iron for the war industry.
              They decide to reduce the material to make stripper clips.
              The thickness reduce from 0.54mm to 0.4mm also the spring reduce 0.03mm
              in thickness. To indicate this change they stamped C- on the stripper clip.

              451kr.
