I have a couple of boxes of 15 rounds 7.5x54mm French that have the details written in Arabic. Can anyone translate into English? I just have an idle curiosity to find out what it says. Regards
Peter.

Syrian made ammuntion, this should help give you some idea although it isn't exactly the same.....

Thanks for that. It is a good while since I got this ammunition. I remember that some went bang, some went click bang and some went click. I kept a couple of the best condition boxes back just to collect.

I picked up a couple of hundred rounds of Syrian 7.5x54 some years ago and I think I had about 1 in 20 that would go bang.

I pulled them and recycled the bullets and powder into PPU brass, I also remember the primers were seriously hard, indicting that the ammunition was primarily produced for automatic weapons and not the MAS36.

Peter, I believe your boxes state the following, hope that helps:

Thank you for the translation. It is much appreciated.
So, I have standard ball ammunition made in Syria in 1957. I wonder what route it took to get to Yorkshire and when.
Regards
Peter.
