Product Description
The Original Bulgarian 7.62x54R cartridge case marked with "Lion/19/47/ВФ" is a historical piece of military ammunition, reflecting Bulgaria's post-World War II production for Soviet-era firearms. This cartridge case, made for the 7.62x54R round, was used in iconic rifles like the Mosin-Nagant and various Soviet machine guns, both of which played pivotal roles in Eastern European and Soviet bloc militaries.
The headstamp "Lion/19/47/ВФ" gives insight into its origins, with the lion emblem symbolizing Bulgaria and the "19/47" denoting the production year as 1947—a period marked by rebuilding and military alignment with the Soviet Union. The "ВФ" likely references a specific factory designation or quality assurance code used during that era.
Crafted from durable brass, this case was designed for reliability and longevity in harsh field conditions. Collectors value it both for its functional quality and historical significance, as it provides a tangible connection to Cold War military heritage. Often sought after for its distinct markings and craftsmanship, this Bulgarian 7.62x54R case remains an excellent addition for those interested in Eastern European and Soviet military collectibles, offering insight into Bulgaria’s arms manufacturing history in the mid-20th century
