1 Pr Blank a.jpeg1 Pr Blank b.jpegA nice headstamp even if a few dings. Here is my loaded Blank with brown domed card wad in top. VS&M in a circle so a variation.
 
What does the top of it look like? yours I think predates mine which has the later VSM marking style.
 
1Pr Blank a.jpg1Pr Blank b.jpegPhotos of the card wad in the 1 Pr Blank 11. Looks like a varnished sealant was used. Some chew marks but it is 100 years old ?
 
I'll have some chew marks after 100 years too ~ The roll gets blown out when fired
judging by mine and perhaps if reused there could be some length lost also.
