I picked this one up recently, my first wrapped copper case :tinysmile_hmm_t2:
Its a 1 inch Gatling.....I think.
What puzzles me is the case dimensions. Its 96mm long with a rim diameter of 31mm (both measured with a ruler so may be slightly out).
The longest Gatling I have listed has a 89mm case length.
The only round with similar dimensions is a 1 inch Jingal which according to the cartridge list I have has the same dimensions as mine.
Anyone got any ideas?
The previous owner pulled this one and it was full of black powder, now fully INERT so its definitely the correct case length.
I've shown it next to a Martini Henry rifle round for scale.
Thanks.
Dave.
