[QUOTE="lauragarnet, post: 17750, member: 105"]The casing doesn't look like it's made of brass. Is it steel? Does a magnet stick to it? I had my brother-in-law look at it and all he could tell for sure is it's a rim fire cartridge. And said there were several calibers in the late 1800s / early 1900s that did not use separate primers. Would need you to measure the diameter with a calipers to know the exact caliber. And he also said it could be possible it's a mini replica of an artillery shell, too.[/QUOTE]
