I can't find any references to this ammo. Found plenty about the Czech with the Silver Tip, but there is no silver tip on this as far as I can tell.

Any advice?

looks like 1950s production in that pale green box, the only 1950s czech i have is the yellow tip heavy ball with 2 different headstamps ( aym or bxn ).
a quick visit to a site on mosin ammo refers to this as type 59 ball ammo.

Shoots just fine,as long as storage was good it will be fine.Didn't test it for accuracy.
