This cartridge was for the Colt experimental semi-auto pistol, the predecessor of the Colt 1911. It was marketed to the Romanian government, but was a failure. CONDITION: The bottom is solid with no seam splits. The top is missing one end and has a seam split along one edge. The orange top label has some chipping and staining. The side label has been cut all the way around and shows wear. The ammunition is in near mint condition.
