WW2, German, German anti-tank rifles originated back in 1917 with the Mauser 1918 T Gewehr, the world's first anti-tank rifle. The Germans developed this concept prior to the second world war, the cartridge used was essentially a necked down version of the earlier 13x92SR Mauser cartridge to 7.9mm used in the 1918 anti tank gun. This round was used in the 7.9mm Panzerbüchse 38, abbreviated Pzb 38 culminating with the Panzerbüchse 39 PzB 39 using a tungsten cored copper jacketed bullet.

The cartridge case is fitted with a brass primer held in with 3 stab crimps with a red coloured annulus. The round is fitted with copper jacketed armour piercing projectile and bears damage from being struck by a .303 calibre bullet, igniting the propellant. The bullet in the illustration is not the actual bullet that caused the damage but is included in the sale for reference.
