Hi Tig,
I like it! Not seen one stamped BLANK before. What's the rest of the case like?
Cheers

And it's an Indian blank, made at the Gun and Shell Factory, Cossipore. An MSF stamp indicates that it passed through the Metal and Steel Factory, Ishapore, probably for an annealing repair (A in a circle and one punch mark).
