Hi Guys, I'm trying to figure out what 8 X 57mm ammo I've got here. It is headstamped: Pk 37 Fr 67 Hope someone can help. I have a big list I printed off the 'net that doesn't list this particular headstamping.
Thanks for any help!
Matt

Thanks for the links Mike, I saved one of them for future use.


Thanks haak48, that was a very informative answer! I can't hardly believe this stuff is from 1937, it looks like it was made yesterday. My primer seal is green, does that tell you the loading?
