...with quite the corroded projectile. I'm not sure when it's from, but I would venture a guess at some time between the two world wars. The base has 29 or 39 stamped on it (the first digit is fairly damaged), but whether that is meant to signify the year or something completely different, I do not know. The RA on the base signifies the maker, Raufoss Ammunisjonsfabrikk (now Nammo), I believe. Anyway, just thought I'd post it. :) Here's some info on the Krag-Jørgensen for those interested: Krag-Jørgensen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

cool find, I recently found 2 shell casings but they were un-interesting, 30.06 and a .38
