This month we have a couple of
interesting cartridges. The first two were sent to us by Jeff
Joralemon. The first is a 1" Gatling Canister round that is internally primed.
Note the cut-away window showing the load stack inside.

15mm Pinfire
By Brian Clark
This is a 15mm Pinfire Revolver cartridge. The cartridge is by Fiocchi and the wonderful
box below is by Leon Beaux & Company of Milan, Italy. Note that the caliber is a
pasted on label to match the end-flap showing the 15mm cartridge. The endflap is the same
on the top of the box.
I understand that there are two variations of the 15mm Pinfire, a
revolver version and a carbine version. The carbine version uses a heavier and longer
bullet. Does anyone have a picture that you could send us showing the two?
