1 inch Nordenfelt with a difference.

[SG500]

This ones not in my collection so I can't at present give dimensions.
The projectile is just like a 1 inch Nordenfelt.......except its jacket is not made out of brass, its copper.
The case that it came is a small bottle necked case. No headstamp with a push in primer.
I've never seen or heard of such a round.
Does anyone have anything similar in their collection or some information on it?
Thanks.
Dave.

I am sure I have seen a picture of that case before Dave, but I cannot remember where.

I will try to see if I made a note of it anywhere.

Cheers

That's great, thanks, well found. Is anyone able to translate the key info for me please?
Now we know there are 2 of them out there. Anyone else got one or more info about it?
Dave.
