Just found this case. I assume was used in the Anglo Boer war by the Boers.

Calibre 127 mm

Case length : 109 mm

Rim: 140 mm.

Head Stamp : BERNDORF 1896

Any information on this one ?IMG_6279.JPGIMG_6280.JPGIMG_6281.JPG
 
You caught me out. Case length 104 mm.

I have checked the thread, definitely the same.

I also believe that it was from the Anglo Boer War. The only reference book I have on the weapons used does not list this as one, but does mention that various calibres were used.

Maybe this was the odd one out.
 
Andy, could you check if one of the primer holes has a marked "B"?
