I have to identify several blackpowder cartridges for another shooter. First of many posts. My Cartridges of the World either doesn't show these or I am uncertain about variations. My Google-fu has been productive but only to a point.

The link (should) take you to two photos of a rolled brass foil cartridge with a less-than-complete star crimped nose. It is leaking grains of powder. The base is a centrefire, with a low brass cup. Overall is approx 1.5 inches, and body diameter is close to .38 cal.

Link doesn't work for me. There were a number of different British and European coiled brass cases in the 1850's and 1860's before the modern drawn brass cases that we know today were perfected and became economically practical. These were various sporting rifle cartridges and military like the early 57 Snider and 577/450 ammunition that were Canada's military cartridge. The early coiled brass versions of these two are scarce but not rare in Canada. PM sent.
