Identify strange ".45 Auto" case

[Wernher von Browning]

I found this odd case among the range brass our club has picked up.

It's a very dark colored case, like a dark nickel or black chrome plating. It is nonmagnetic.

The headstamp is strange -- it appears to be in a foreign alphabet. Arab? Israeli? Some other Asian or Far Eastern writing system? Anybody know what this might be?



Thanks in advance. Just curious about what this could be.

[Wernher von Browning]

Never mind. I may have identified it.

It's not script at all. I won't spoil the surprise... Anybody else figure it out?

Buckmark
I turned the pic and pow

[SonOfaDI]

Yep. Also i have been staying away from their .22 since had a couple cases split in one day....

[Wernher von Browning]

Yup. Buckmark. It's kind of a Rohrschach test. (And to me, that never looks like a buck, nohow).

It is indeed black nickel plated.

"...nickel-plated cases with contrasting brass primers are as eye-appealing as they are weather-resistant"

So... eye candy.

I keep trying to flip my phone upside down so I can make it out but auto rotate is making me it's *****.

The first time I saw one I thought it was Arabic.

Once it was under a magnifier the Buckmark was clearly present.

It is strange how we can perceive something common as foreign.

Fooled me once.

That is .45 Tribal ammo sold only to Hawaiians... Not to be exported from the main island. You are lucky to have some.

Let me guess, if you take it off the island, Pele gets mad?

You will have your eyes plucked out by chickens in your sleep if you load it and shoot it...
