Hello all of you.
Can you help me with this 7,62x39 dummy cartridge?
I don’t know where was made.
Very thanks
Pedro
The case was made in China in 1957.
This dummy was made from a fired case. Hard to tell who made them.
Very thanks Alex.
How did it come to you; what countries might it have passed through?
Finland made?
To what we know Finland never used Chinese cases and they added flutes for marking. These here are knurled.
Right now I am not even sure if these are military.
Hello Jonnyc.
I found it in last ECRA meeting, but i don’t remember who was the seller.i’m sorry, I can’t help you with this.
Anzov about Finland was my first idea, but i dummys from Finland and all are differents than this.
I saw a similar one from a Russian cartridge case, and therefore I preferred it.
For whatever little it is worth, I have the same. But not sure where I came by it. My 1st thought was also Finnish.
A similarly knurled case is shown here:
The real story on these dummies is that the late steve fuller had them made up in California. If I remember right steve said they were for a war movie.

A number of years ago Steve Fuller requested various 7.62x39 projos, which I had. So I provided them not knowing why. These projo’s have an uncanny resemblance. Actually, some I sent him were 7.62x45 CZECH. FYI
