    I believe 8mm Mauser is the usual head stamp.

    I have a heaps here, none stamped 8x57 though.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Thanks Pete, you can see my confusion, I have never seen a 7x57 or 8x57 before but see them mentioned a fair bit but never the 8mm

    7.92×57mm Mauser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The 7x57 is also known as a 275 rigby as well as 7mm mauser just to confuse you some more .

    HINT....Your focus problems are because the camera is focusing on the background, not the cartridge base. You need to have both as close together as possible as in this example,Name: DSC00277.jpg Views: 382 Size: 243.3 KB which is pushed through and is flush with the cardboard background

    Not really up on this sort of thing but will say those very tapered case walls says it must be old,probably a military caliber of yesteryear or perhaps a dangerous game caliber of yesteryear.
