8mm Danish Krag short case

[Rrickoshae]

Please see the attached photo of a 8mm Danish Krag with a case which is reduced to 18mm length and a lead bullet. Headstamp is normal Krag, 19 V.I.28 29 HL.
I’m assuming that this is a wildcat round but does anyone have any further info?

many thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

I think this was a cattle killer round of some sort. Saw some in a box many years ago!
