M1870 Vetterli Cartridges, Italian, Cal.10,4x47R Originally Black Powder. Cases made 1890, Cartridges assembled and packed 1891, at Army Pyrotechnic Plant, Capua, Italy. Case Inspector "C.R." ( name reversed). Packaging Inspector "D.G."
Bullet Copper/Brass Coated, Boxer Primed Case. For use in Both Vetterli M1870 (Single shot) and Vetterli-Vitali M70/87 Magazine Rifle, and Gatling/ Gardner? and Maxim machineguns.
Nice, Collectible item (open packets and sealed packets). Goes well with relative Rifles, Carbines and TS. (Short Rifles). I doubt any of the MGs still exist outside specialist Museums.

Thank you, DocAV. I appreciate the info. I'm new to Gunboards, like what I see so far. I've come across quite a few interesting cartridges over the years, I worked for awhile at an auction house cleaning out estates and I'd find some from time to time. I'm putting them all in an album here as well as some other stuff I like. I hope to hear from you again.
