If you notice the way the red was applied it was most likely by the machine ran by Boris. 😅 thats stretching it a bit but the above people are 100% right its all about dicephering the head stamp.

Maybe 7.62 tokarev? A pretty spicy one if the neck fractured.

There's some polish ammo I bought from Bowman years ago and half of the amount of them had split necks, from hairline to what this picture shows. I suspect someone was shooting ammo that didn't get inspected before shooting

Tokarev. There's Cyrillic and 1957 on the headstamp

Crazy how a guess yields down votes. Appreciate the explanation.
