The ogival form was adopted in 1916 for improved functioning in the Trommelmagazine issued with the Artillery Parabellum and the Bergmann Model 1918 submachinegun.The printed information indicates manufacture on 14th July 1917, and details of the manufacture of the case, propellant, bullet and primer. Rheinische Metallwaren und Maschinenfabrik later became Rheinmetall.
