11x17

11x17

The 11x17 cartridge has ben made in two forms. First as a pin fire cartridge for revolver m/1863.

Then the m/1871 revolver was adopted. That revolver used a 11x17 center fire cartridge instead.

Later the m/1863 pin fire revolver was rebuilt to use the center fire cartridge instead, and renamed m/1863-1879.
