Argentina purchased about 500 surplus 1871's for use by the army (Ejercito Nationale). IIRC, instead of buying old stocks of 11mm Mauser they simply had the troops fire .43 Spanish (which the RRBs were chambered for) in them. They were never rechambered to .43 Spanish.
Those look like .42 Berdan cartridges for the Berdan II rifle. What are the neck diameters?
