[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 321147, member: 8767"] When I looked at the cases I saw that the item far right had crimp lines along it, the length is also strange for 577, that leads me to suspect that it may be a 577/450 case, these were a later format by only a few years from the 577 snider. they did have a solid case as well as a foil rolled case which is what the items appear to be in your photograph. Also to find so many cases over such a wide area leads me to suspect that is where a standoff may have occurred with police which carried the 577 and 577/450. VERY interesting finds. :Y: Could it be a 577/450? [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.577/450_Martini%E2%80%93Henry[/url] Oh yes.. we are still shooting WW2 and earlier 303Brit ammo, when it appears and is of no collectible value. ;) [/QUOTE]
