Cartridge 26,5 mm from Dutch factory Siderius

[Antoon]

Hello,

Who know what cartridge this is.

The calibre is 26,5 mm and the head stamp is from the pre WW2 Dutch ammunition factory SIDERIUS.

Date is 1938 and also the markings V58 or V88.

It is not a normal pre-WW2 cartridge for a signal pistol as in use with the Dutch army in that time.

Greetings - Antoon
