Hey guys, first of I am very new to this collection nish so bare with me if I come of a bit stupid, and don't hesitate to correct me.
I went on a fleemarked hunting this past weekend and found among other things these two.
Caliber is 25mm length of projectile is 70mm
Casing is 75mm
Total length 140mm
One casing is unmarked and the other one is marked Skultuna 1611, 2 and 13
I don't have any litteratur on these so I went to digitalmuseum as usual and I think it matches this one pretty decent.

The description there is
Bullet to machine gun - Palmcrantz 1877. Kal 25 mm.
Caliber 25 mm.
Case weight 317 g.
Charge weight : 40,5 g.
Bullet weight: 205 g.
Initial speed: 457 mV.
Penetration at 300 meters : 25 mm.
Fire rate per minute : 180.

Are my assumptions correct do you think ?
I have not seen steel projectiles with this copper overlay before is it common ?
One of the casings is marked 2 and 13 I guess the 13 stands for 1913 don't know about the "2" ?
What's up with all the notches on the rim of one of the cases?
Best regards
Bjorn
