I was recently given quite a bit of bottle neck pistol brass that I have not been able to identify. The only head stamp is the number 22 and directly across from it the number 84. It's overall length is 0.965. Measures .338 at the mouth, .375 at the shoulder, .389 at the case head, and the rim measures .388. Rim to shoulder measures approximately .785 and the mouth to shoulder length is approximately .138.

Thanks for any help.

my guess would be 30 luger.
if the inside of the case mouth is about 314 across.

It wouldn't be the 30 Luger, as that case is only about .75 long (7.65x21 in metric terms)
Now, both the 30 Mauser and 30 Tokerive (SP) (7.65x25 in metric terms) would fit the bill.
The Mauser and the Tok. are both the same shape & size, however the Tok ammo is loaded to higher pressure levels (IOW you can safely shoot Mauser rounds in a Tok pistol, but not the other way around)

To the OP, #22 is a ammo plant in Romania, and 84 is the year of production (1984), so the odds are that it's tok ammo/brass

Thanks for the info. I was thinking it could be the Tokerov based on some dimensions I found on the web, but was not sure.
