Found some bullets in a forrest today,
The big one says : 1943 VII U (diamond card symbol)

The other one (also a big one) is unreadable but is the same cal. Als the other big one.

The 4 small ones are possibly blanks, and dont have any letters on numbers I can see.

The shotgun bullet reads : Insul...de (star icon) 16 (star icon)

Any idea how old the 4 little ones are ?
Any wich army the big ones used ?
Any idea how old the shotgun casing could be ?

Thanks in advance !
Oh and btw srry for my language, english is not my mother tongue..

The two rifle cartridges are German 8mm Mauser for the K98. The smaller ones look like 8mm Kurz for the STG44, I'd need measurements to confirm that though. Not sure on the shotshell base yet....


Edit : It is entirely possible they are blank 8mm kurz for the STG44, and would have been used in one fitted with a grenade launcher.
