11.15mm Werdl?

[RCS]

The cartridges that I posted are as follows:

8x50R Lebel loaded by Western in the USA

11x59mm Vickers (balloon gun cartridge) which was developed from
the French black powder 11x59R Gras cartridge. The Vickers belt fed aircraft m/g
and the French Hotchkiss were both modified to use the 11mm Vickers cartridge
with the larger bullet for incendiary and tracer for use on balloons. It would appear
that after WW1, the 11mm Vickers was no longer in use. I did assemble a Colt 11mm
Vickers many years ago, it was a
turn-in at the local police and fire station as a box of
parts. They asked if I could put it together for them, as to what became of it - I don't know.

The last cartridge is a rare 8mm Lebel round lead ball Mle 1895, called the spherical ball with reduced loading for 15 meter practice

"11.15mm Werdl? "


Wrong country! (And it should be Werndl)
But near enough the right (nominal) calibre.
