Identification please?

Post by polman » Thu Oct 21, 2010 12:56 pm

Hello Everybody,

Here I show you a picture of a New Primed Empty 12ga shotshell which I have in my collection.
It has been made by MGM from France,but clearly for export. But to which country?
And what does the writing mean and what language is it?

Image

When more pictures are needed please ask.

Many thanks René

Hi René,

Could you please post a few more pictures of the cartridge?It does look like it's meant for an East Asian country.

Best-
Vikram

Oh ho Here is a perfect example of Intellectual Property Right infringement case. Let me know which company is producing these shot shells so that I can sue them. Doc you will be my prime witness , And in-case we succeed in getting some compensation , we will share the booty. :mrgreen:

Hello Shooter,
I would be very happy if I get a translation, even when it takes more than a few days.

Thanks Already
