Another one of my very old cartridges and perhaps the most unusual. This is brass with black powder filling (?) and is also filled with shot which is of larger guage than shot gun pellets. The case is of rolled construction (?) and is 70mm long with rim diameter of 18mm approx. There is a military arrow stamping near the base and i have provided close up pic of tghis marking. Its quite a heavy round and someone said pretty rare and that it could be Zulu War period shot shell intended for use against natives at close quarters. I was also told that this kind of cartridge had a habit of jamming the rifle mechanism due to its crude construction as the cases split open and snagged in the breech of the weapon. Have a look and see if you can tell me exactly what it is. Regards, Tim.
