Unknown Case

[Richard709]

Hi All,
I came across this case and initially thought it was just a very badly damaged .50 case, having taken a second look it is narrower 18.19mm and shorter between 75-80mm and has a crimp mark 8mm below the rim.



the split in the case on the last photo also appears to be a crimp mark as well. The base is marked K .41 FIZ. Any information or photo's of the complete round would be appreciated.

It looks like it's been in a fire as the primer cap is also missing.

Thanks very much for that, and to think I very nearly didn't pick it up, I picked it up manly because it was made by kynoch and dated 41. amazing what you can still find.
