9.3 x 85

[Slick]

Found another box of stuff. This dummy/action proving round may be a fantasy round. Very well done if it is a fake.
9.3 X 85. Plain base, no headstamp. May be a stylized thing for a lamp or some such. Nothing shows up on an internet search.



In the box there were also some nice old cal. .50 dummies


along with these old shotshells

The ECRA Data Viewer shows this 9,3x85R Dummy as unknown Dummy.
Nice .50 Dummies.

Slick,

Does the 9.3x85mmR have a primer pocket?

The banded bullet is interesting.

Flat,smooth head. Appears to be a machined, solid chunk of brass. The "banded" projectile makes me think this is a decorative item, akin to a finial, vs a dummy.

Slick,

Banded bullets have been played around with for years, So this may not be a decorative item and with it being listed in the ECRA data base I'm pretty certain it would not listed there if it was thought to be a decorative item.

Have you checked the "bullet" with a magnet?

One piece brass. non magnetic. Even tried to unscrew it at what appears to be joints. Solid.
