Title: Percussion cap? Post by: Christoph1945 on April 15, 2014, 07:12:12 PM Found this little critter at Talacre some months ago. Can anyone confirm my initial suspicions that it may be a percussion cap or detonator? :)

looking into the open end, it looks to be grooved or threaded; but that end is cone shaped and I can't see a thread functioning properly on the inside of a cone! ??? Title: Re: Percussion cap?

Looks like its got a smaller hole after the tapered grooved bit? Title: Re: Percussion cap?
