Hello all. Hoping to stir up one of the many reloading wizards on here to identify some brass I was just given. I am familiar with the 8x57. Never owned one, or shot one, but I'm familiar. The other one, I have never seen before & a cursory Google search has come up empty. Any ideas what it is ?

I think the Circle with the cross stamp is a NATO marking which would be why the primer is swaged and sealed. The MEN 94 suggests French contract. The last 2 digits of the headstamp usually suggest the year of manufacture but varies.

Looks to be 7.62 nato manufactured by Metallwerk Elisenhütte and 8x57 made by sellier & bellot. Neither are super common at our local small range. I'll just clean up and sell. All of it looks pretty fresh
