    Can anyone please tell me what these cases are?
    I have looked up the head stamps but did not come up with anything conclusive.
    (I must not be looking in the right place.)

    • ቀኃሥ ("Qä. Ha. Sə.") Emperor Haile Selassie I Ammunition Factory (c.1950–1974) – Mexico Square, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The packaging is labeled in Amharic and is stamped on the inner packaging with ink. The headstamp has the phonetic Amharic initials of the factory name at 12 o'clock, six-pointed stars at 3- and 9 o'clock (the downward-pointing triangles are so small and faint that the stars sometimes look like single large upward-pointing triangles), and the 4-digit Common Era year at 6 o'clock. From the late 1960s to 1974 the caliber of the cartridges (7.92, .30, and 7.62) were shown to the right of the 2-digit year.
