General Comments:
Pretty hot. Do not fire this in your rifle unless it has been proofed for Balle-N rounds.
Usually found still on the Hotchkiss belt segments. Most of the available 8mm Lebel is of this vintage.
Headstamp translates as follows:
"CP" is Cartoucherie Leon Paulet, Marseilles, France. (Cartridge)
"F" is Trefileries et Laminoires de la Mediterranee, St. Louis, France. (Case)
"2 48" is second quarter, 1948.
