Rolled Brass Foil Question

[kootenaycat]

Got a question for you history experts. I picked up some old cartridges last week from an old timer and hope somebody knows what this one is! Case length is just under 2", base diameter is .657" and caliber measures up to .560". No markings on it at all. From what I found online it kind of looks like a .577 Snider but can't find a pic of one that isn't drawn brass.

Most definately .577 Snider.

Thanks! Any idea on the age and what it's worth? Pretty beat up but something I've never seen before

Probably about $10 each to a cartridge collector.

Snider .577" second pattern Canadian production by Dominion Cartridge Factory Quebec 1886-92.

I have seen them at gun shows for $5-10.

Thanks guys! Going to hold onto it as a conversation piece.
