Just received this 5.25 Inch case dated 1940. Can some one please tell me why the rim is knurled ? (hope I have used the right word).
 
Hi Andy, On older stuff it can denote drill, in your case it means star shell. Very nice indeed! I have the box for the 2 shells with original stencilling. Cheers Tig.
