Lot 95 – Mystery “7mm Nambu Dummy” with dimensions that don’t exactly match known correct rounds. In 1988 Bill Woodin was given these cartridges, said to be 7mm Japanese Dummies, one complete and one empty case and bullet. The cases and flat primers are blackened brass. There are no knurls or cannelures on either the case or bullet. The bullet has a GM jacket over a lead core. The empty case has a single flash hole in the center of the base. One opinion is that they were made in Siam. See the IAA Forum thread on the subject, with box picture and dimensions, and Buttweiler Volume VII Number 1, Lot 268. Ex-Woodin collection. $350-500
