Anyone know anything about these 7.5x54 magazines?

[UNO]

They came in a sealed bag, wrapped in what I think is cosmolene or some petroleum derivative. Looks like about 30-06 size or so. Included some pics of the label that came on it.

Any info is appreciated. Looking to sell em once I know more about them. What rifle does this go to? Is this an uncommon caliber? More of a collectable thing?

Well I'm an idiot. Cleary Google knows everything. Looks like 7.5x54. Though I don't know bubblegum about this rifle other than it's a French one. Anyone know anything? These mags seem to be work about $50 each? Weird.

MAS-49/56. They seem to sell for around 30-50/each. The original packaging may boost that a little. Even though the mags are detachable, the rifle was actually intended to be loaded with stripper clips rather than swapping mags (hence the seemingly economically inefficient solution of putting the mag latch on the mag rather than the gun). If you're looking to sell, eBay or gunbroker would probably maximize the amount of money you'll get.
