41 Smith & Wesson Experimental

[sportee]

Who's got a Cartridges of the World book? Does anybody have any info on this cartridge? its similar to the 41 colt but the case is only about 1.05 long.

1870's I would imagine.

Im looking for the experimental cartidge they developed in the 1870's/1880's to follow the intro of the 41 Long Colt.

I have 2 editions of C of the W, and it's not mentioned in either.
