I don't have much in the way of Russian stuff except these four rounds in original transit case that i picked up many years ago. The rounds are dated between 1905-1907. I only have three of the soft lead fuze covers though. All the fuzes can be striped the cases even have the cardboard cups to seperate the charge from the projectile. If that is what there for? Don't know about the primers though are these just like transit caps or are they primers? Any help would be fantastic finding out where these were produced. Anyway enough waffle here are some pics.

I have nothing on russian stuff,but those are still nice looking rounds,
 
Thanks Andy, i was not sure myself as having not seen much Russian stuff and there being no stamps or anything on them i should have taken one out to look. Thanks again Weasel.
 
Hi Weasel,
Must agree with spotter, great rounds :)
A step back in time to the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905, give or take a year or so. I'm sure some military museums would like to add them to their collections.
Great stuff :)
Cheers,
