hummm.... Caliber: 11x59Rmm French Gras

Markings:

Case made by G. Roth of Austria
For the Greek Army in 1881

Greek letters on each side are the first and last letters of the word "Hellas" or Greece.

Effectively , this case looks to be a Gras case, see my book CARTRIDGES of the GRAS SYSTEM Armory Publications.
 
The base rather makes me think of a 11x60R Mauser
It will be necessary to compare the case with the level of the collet and the retreint with the case Gras
 
Hi Doc,
Is this any help to you,11X60R Mauser round
Tony
