NotesThe tip appears to be red but on close inspection it is actually red over silver with most of the silver worn off. The "/61" portion of the case text is extrapolated from a reference in Fuchs' .50 BMG book. According to Fuchs, the primer/primer crimp suggests Italian manufacture but the SBC case stamp may indicate manufacture by Squires Bingham, Phillipines.
