HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Does anyone have a fired L8A1 or L9A1 Browning case to hand please? Can you look inside and tell me whether they are Berdan or Boxer primed? (I suspect the latter)

Many thanks

I just looked inside a case headstamped CBC 07 L9A1 (+)

It is definitely a Boxer primer.
 
Many thanks. Now to work out whether they were made in Brazil or one of CBC's European plants.
