Other WW2 relics I unearthed included fired brass casings of the German 7.92x57mm IS (IS stands for "Infanterie, Spitz" or "Infantry, Pointed") cartridges for the Mauser K98 rifles, bullets and casings of the Russian 7.62x54mmR (R stands for "Rimmed") cartridges (called "the Russian 30-06" in the US) for the Mosin-Nagant and Tokarev SVT-40 rifles, brass casings of the Russian 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridges for PPSh-41 ("Shpagin machine pistol") submachine gun, two splitters (fragments of the brass driving band of an artillery projectile), a fragment of the harmonica reed, etc.
