10.67 X 57R RUSSIAN BERDAN
The name of Hiram Berdan is most well known for the development of the primer that bears his name, but he also designed a hammerless "trapdoor" breechblock rifle in 10.67x57R designation (also called the .42 Russian Berdan) in 1868 that was to become the standard...
10.6mm GERMAN ORDNANCE REVOLVER
Before the unification in 1871 Germany consisted of a collection of independent states and kingdoms, each having its own weaponry. With the newly formed Germany they sought to standardise their weaponry, including rifles, artillery and cavalry. It seems that side-arms...
10.6mm SCHULHOF
This was a design by Josef Schulhof (1824 - 1890), gunmaker from Vienna. He patented a repeating rifle in 1882 and was credited with having developed several types of repeating pistols around 1884. All required a manual movement to chamber and discharge the cartridge....
10.6mm SPANISH ORDNANCE M.1884
The 10.6mm Spanish Ordnance is dimensionally the same as the 10.6mm German Service Revolver. It was introduced as the Mod. 1884 (Erlmeier, Brandt Ref. 156).
10.75 X 45R GRUNDIG
10.75 X 49R WERNDL
10.75 X 52 MANNLICHER (ROTH)
According to Dixon, there is considerable debate over the origins and purposes of both this and the rimmed equivalent (A42). The RWS '10.75x52 G' and the Austrian '10.75x52 Mannlicher' appear to be the same cartridge. Both have a 12.5-12.6mm head which is used by both...

10.75 X 60.5R LV2
The 10.75x60.5R LV2 uses a base diameter of 13.6-13.7mm which is the same as the 10.15x60.5R LV4 (SC23) but has a 0.5mm greater diameter bullet than that cartridge. It was listed in the 1900 RWS catlogue, but no other references has been seen until the 1922 Hagen...
10.75 X 60R GRUNDIG
10.75 X 61 HAENEL (DWM 523)(GR #721)
10.75 X 63 G MAUSER (Le PERSONNE)
This cartridge was likely the first of the rimless cartridges based on the G (Gründig) case type with a base of 12.55mm. It definitely precedes the 10.75x68 (M58) which is a longer neck version of this 63mm case version and is also likely to be introduced prior to the...
10.75 X 63 RWS M88 RIM
10.75 X 65R COLLATH
This is a rare cartridge that is often confused with the 10.75x65R Grundig, but as can be seen, this one has slightly smaller dimensions and is necked whereas the Grundig has a straight case. It appears to look like a slightly necked version of the 11x65R Collath....
10.75 X 65R GRUNDIG
10.75 X 68 MAUSER
Very popular sporting cartridge in Europe and Africa and in all probability developed around 1907 – 1908. There is an Obernforf Mauser rifle chambered for the 10.75x68 in South African that has a date stamp of 1908, so it would seem an accurate assumption of the...
10.75 X 68R
This is the rimmed version of the 10.75x68 Mauser. There is not any other info known except for an RWS case drawing dating from 1926.
10.75 X 70R MAUSER MAGNUM (BARELLA, STAHL)
This large cartridge was a Sporting rather than a Target cartridge and is uncommon. It was introduced by DWM as case #495 (c1905 - not being shown in the 1904 catalog). The case uses a raised base with MB dimensions but has a tapered body unlike other MB types....

10.8mm MONTENEGRIN No. 4
This cartridge is listed as the 10.8mm Montenegrin No.4 Revolver in Erlmeier, Brandt as Ref. 157. From an earlier IAA Forum discussion however this cartridge has been identified as an early long cased, inside lubricated 44 Webley by UMC. It will be listed here for...

10mm AUTO
The 10mm Auto was developed in 1983 by Jeff Cooper originally for the BREN TEN Pistol which was based on a modified and strengthened CZ-75 design. The story started in the 1970’s with Jeff Cooper looking for a handgun that would be an everything-for-everybody...
10mm BERGMANN M.1901
Theodor Bergman (1850 – 1931) was a German industrialist who had a keen interest in firearms and developed a line of pistols during the late 1890’s to early 1900’s, although his business dealings were more toward bicycles and the then newly developed automobile. It is...
10mm CENTAUR
The idea of necking the 45 ACP down to 10mm is not a new idea. During the early 90’s, long before the development of the 40 SUPER, Charles Petty who was a respected gun-writer developed the 10mm Centaur together with Ray Herriott who was the designer and Richard Beebe...
10mm GAUPILLAT
There is very little information available about the 10mm Gaupillat except a note from Erlmeier, Brandt stating that it was discovered at the 1975 Lucerne Arms show in a box labelled: Nombre 25 – Calibre 10m/m – Cartouches pour Revolvers a percussion centrale. It...

10mm MARS
This is a Kynamco manufactured cartridge for collectors. Apparently the largest of the metric caliber Mars experimental cartridges for the H.W. Gabbett-Fairfax designed pistols ca. 1900. (Erlmeier, Brandt Ref. 146).
10mm MAUSER LONG
Cartridge for an experimental German revolver. The headstamp H.EHRMANN & C x CARLSRUHE x dates this as a very early development as the Ehrmann factory ceased operations in 1882. This cartridge was also only shown in the 1882 Lorenz Export catalogue. (Erlmeier,...
10mm NAGANT REVOLVER
There is very little information available about the 10mm Nagant. Erlmeier-Brandt just state that it was for a revolver of unknown design, probably a Belgian made Nagant system revolver. (Erlmeier, Brandt Ref. 147).
10mm REMINGTON MAGNUM

10mm SURABAYA

11 X 35R UNKNOWN/UNCERTAIN
Still getting verification on this. Cartridge was produced by the B.STAHL PATRONENHÜLSEN und WAFFENFABRIK of Suhl (aka MESSINGHÜLSENFABRIK) which operated from 1871 to 1901 when it was taken over by GECADO (G.C. Dornheim). The company was formed in 1871 by Reinhard...

Based on a shortened 11.15 x 60R military cartridge. Production period from approximately 1876 until 1910 The no h/s variation was probably produced by Lorenz.

The 11 x 40R Mäntsälän seppä is a wildcat and dates back to the 1930's. It was developed by a blacksmith (= "seppä" in Finnish) who lived in a village called Mäntsälä. At that time there was a civil guard called Suojeluskunta in Finland. The member of Suojeluskunta...
11 X 40R SCHEIBENGEWEHER ??
I am still looking for further information on this cartridge. Case has a heavy taper at the neck with a horse hair type wad.

The 11x42R has a MB base and was listed by Lorenz with DWM case number 180. It was referred to as a Landjäger (Rural Police) cartridge. It was first listed in the Lorenz c1886 Export catalogue and last listed in the DWM 1904 catalogue. Cartridge has a raised headstamp...

11 X 45R MB TARGET (GR 49)
The 11x45R MB was based on a shortened 11.15x60R military case. Probably introduced by Georg Roth in approximately 1876 and production continued until 1935. There are similar cartridges produced by Georg Roth with differing neck, shoulder and case lengths. Also...
11 X 46R MB TARGET
This was in all probability some experimental or special order, based on the old 11,15x60R M.71 case.
