[410phil 4]

I have come into possesion of a box of

 

No.1 long shot

6mm FLOBERT

DOUBLE CHARGED

CARTRIDGES

MANUFACTURED AT THE ELEY FACTORIES OF IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LTD LONDON ENGLAND

 

No.10 SHOT

 

Any information on age or how rare or collectable they are would be great plus if anyone is a collector and intersted in buying them please drop me a line.

They must be fairly old as the old boy I got them off is in his seventies and they belonged to his uncle

I am pretty sure 6mm and .22 are the same but they must be old as they are marked up as 6mm

I am looking for 9mm garden gun if you know of one going anywhere.

Cheers Phil

i thought .22 was 5.5mm!! if im right they must be inbetween .22 and .25 or 5.5mm and 6.5mm!!

They are 6mm now whether that is the tube in which the shot is contained or the outside diameter of the percussion cap I don't know but they are definitely marked up as 6mm.

I've measured every conceivable dimension on my 9mmRF cartridges and I can't find a measurement remotely close to 9mm anywheere. I think manufacturers just make this stuff up sometimes.
