    Cartridge rarity????

    Hi !

    Today I get some recovered cartridges, and I found this one coded:

    hlb S* 3 45

    The primer is bigger than normal S.m.E. cartridges, what I have it here?

    Thanks in advance

    Normally the German 7,92x57 cartridges has 3 primer stab crimps.
    hlb ( Metallwarenfabrik Treubritzen GmbH Werk Selterhof.) made at the end of the war cases with a ring crimp. ( used widely on larger calibers ) they tried to sell these cases to other ammo plants over Germany but it came to late , war was over.
    Today there not many cartridges found with this ring crimp.

    When you firing the rifle the recoil pressed the case back and ring pressed the primer.
