  Hi,
  
  Item #1 - I have no idea what is meant by an unmarked raised headstamp, but the cartridge looks like a 43 Mauser.
  
  Item #2 - is German and looks like a 8x58Rmm Sauer. Georg Egestorff was from Linden-bei-Hannover, Germany and made commercial cartridges.
  
  Item #3 - No idea. Maybe Austrian.
  
  Item #4 - I can tell you the DWM 487 is what is called a 9mm Mauser Export(not Luger). This is more powerful than the 9mm Luger and is a collectors item. Guns and ammunition were imported into the US in the early part of the 1900s. The Swiss also used this cartridge in a submachine gun in the 1930s.
  
  For $3.00 shipping, the plan is clear.
  
  Heavyiron.
