I have this case, can anyone tell me or show me what projectile goes with it, or does it take the normal Nordenfelt projectile,thanks

I think it may be a Norwegian 28mm flare case. Please can you measure it.

96mm, same as my nordenfelt rounds

Is the diameter the same as the Nordenfelt? Both case mouth and just above the rim.

The 28mm flare case is based on the the Nordenfelt.

Hi glevum, I have just measured the case mouth, the rim and above the rim, all readings are as near as damn it the same using a caliper

Apparently the conversion of 1" Nordenfelt to flare cartridge in the early part of the 20th century was quite popular. http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/97990-Flare-Cartridge
