38.5x197 Nordenfelt

[SG500]

According to the Hawkinson list this is a 38.5x197 Nordenfelt case.
Rim 58.9mm
Unfortunately silver coated. Decorated with "1 1/2 pdr" on the side.
Does anyone have any information regarding projectile types please?
Thanks.
Dave.

Dave. Type in 1 1/2" Nordenfelt as a query and I showed 5 variations of projectiles and headstamps of these rounds on June 30 2025.

These were used by the Australian Navy and I was told a gun is somewhere in Qld/NSW . They are 1 1/2" and not 1 1/2 pr.
I think the gun was also marked as 1 1/2" but too long ago to remember who told me ths info.
