- Notes :
- Title by cataloger., Bottom of the cartridge has the inscriptions: "ART. M", "1", "09", "A RS BS". This headstamp suggests that the cartridge was manufactured in 1909 by the Ateliers de Construction de Rennes, while the metal was supplied by the Atelier de Laminage de l'École de Pyrotechnie de Bourges. The dimensions and other physical characteristics of the cartridge suggest that it is an 8 mm Lebel.
