I didn't know if it is OK to post in this thread but since it is open I am posting this reply.
Thanks for the info. Yes, some cartridges will not be identified as this 7.62 x 39 example I am submitting.
Or maybe I am wrong and is easy for you to identify. If that is the case you can delete this post.
This cartridge was found in Central America during the war.
I keep it as a curiosity in my colection.

The numerals are 03 and 39 on the bottom, they are arabic. Considering the direction of Arabic writting right to left (I don't know if this is also the case with numerals, or more specifically, headstamps) it could be 30 and 93.

The upsidedown V and the backwards P are likely easy for someone else to figure out. If I had to guess I would say its Jordanian or possibly egyptian of some sort. I wouldnt be surprised to find it was Iraqi, Iranian, or even Lybian.

consider checking here, probably only take some of these guys a second to answer it:

Yes, it was found to be Iraqi. I placed this same post at a different location in this same forum and got responded. What is very intersting is how far it went.... to Central America.

Thats Iraqi or Egyptian. Looks like it was made on former Yugo equipment, just with horrable quality controll.

Well. I'm looking at some ammo on GunBroker. It looks like the above 8mm headstamp. But it's listed as 7.62x39.

I wonder if they could both be stamped similar?

[B4Ctom1]

That appears to be same as the Egyptian ammo I fired out of my SKS in 1994. It felt hot and punctured the hell out of appliances. I never got more to shoot.
