As best I can say...
"10 Rifle Cartridges"
"Manufactured in March 1888 in Main Laboratory at Ingolstadt"
" Case: N/K"
Last line possibly "Government Issue: M71.84. H.L."
No way for me to be certain of what appear to be designator numbers/Letters. Possibly lot #'s or size and power.
Some of it is in old German, so it was necessary to interpolate, but I think I'm close.

Willie,
I can't download the pics, but from the responces i believe you have 11.15x60R Mauser ammo for the M71 , M71/84 Mauser. Loose ammo is priced better than 6 USD each; couldn't guess what an intact original box would be. Its a great find. Its for probable the first Mauser bolt action rifle, loaded with black powder.

As usual Igor, you are dead on.
Maybe this pic will show for you.
I found a couple of old original boxes of 43 Mauser blanks for 50 and 65 bucks each.
Sad part is that I had 10 or fifteen boxes like this one and sold 'em for 10 bucks a piece about 10 years ago..
Maybe you can view the pics by going here too.
