7.65x20 French Long Dummy Rounds WWII .30-18 Peterson

Set of five 7.65x20 French Longue dummy rounds or “snap-caps”.  This cartridge had its beginnings in a WWI American design to convert the 1903 Springfield into a semi-automatic rifle. The Peterson device was created to do this, but didn't make it to Europe in time for World War One. The cartridge was called designated the .30-18 Peterson. The French saw it and decided to make it their standard pistol and submachine gun cartridge. They began manufacturing it and renamed it the 7.65x20 French Longue. It was used through WWII and all the way into the Vietnam War in the M1935 French revolver and MAS-38. Real brass and bullets. Spent primers remain for identification as standard. Also available with holes drilled in cases, spent primers removed, or removed and silicone added. Properly sized and seated. Great addition to your re-enactment kit or display with your unique piece of military history.
