Product Description
A large, rimmed bottleneck cartridge for the 11×59R French Gras. The headstamp carries SFM, for Société Française des Munitions, alongside the intertwined GG monogram associated with Gévelot-Gaupillat and two stars. SFM-marked Gras cartridges are recorded in the M.1879/83 pattern, but this example has no date visible, so its exact year cannot be established from the headstamp.

The cartridge has a brass case and a metal-jacketed projectile. It is inert with a deactivated primer, as supplied. The case and headstamp show age and surface wear; please see the photographs for condition. A substantial and unusual addition to a collection of French military ammunition, Gras rifles or obsolete black-powder cartridges.
