Hi fellows,

Just came across Dutch 6.5x53.5R munition for their Steyr-Mannlicher M95 and would like to know if these are WWI or WWII. I can't post a picture cause my camera is no good in close-ups.
One type of casing reads (from 12 'o clock postion, reading clockwise): 26 26 X55* 14.
Another type reads 38 33 D 01.
Can someone tell me the manufacturer of these rounds and -of more importance to me- the year of manufacturing.

Thanks!

According to my info they are both manufactured by Artillerie inrichtingen Zaandam. (AI Dutch manuf.)

The number on the three o'clock position should be the year of manufacturing.
