"F 1/98" headstamped 20x102 case

Also received yesterday was this 20 x 102 case.

It's one of the few headstamped 20x102 cases, but this one got me puzzled.

I also think it was an unfinished case, as the rim was not bevelled, and the case was not trimmed to propper lenght (caselength is 106mm)


I received info that it could be a Czech case (by ZVI ?), but i'm not sure.

So if anyone can confirm (or even better, provide some documentation on this HS), please let me know.

Thanks,
Orpheus72

Halo Orpheus,

here are pictures of czech drill round 20-JNhŠk

You can see the rest of leter F and series 1-97 on the headstamp next to Šk and F in new position.
So You are probably correct.

Hi Nabob,

Looks indeed to be the same HS on the drill round.
I am missing the drill round in my Czech line-up, so if you have one of these Šk rounds in spare (or know where i can find one), please let me know.
