The Dutch 6-veld has a 57x250R case and is a Gruson L/25. Most Dutch cases do have a headstamp, I do not recall ever seeing a 6-veld case without it.

Does anybody recognize this deviating 57 mm case? It measures 57x222R71 and has a 30mm long straight part of the neck (Belgium case has 35 mm) and weighs 972 grammes. Primer is different then Belgium cases, no head stamp.
