.41 Swiss Rimfire Cartridge – U.M.C. – Improved 1910 Pattern
Z9383 .41 Swiss Rimfire Cartridge – U.M.C. – Improved 1910 Pattern
Description: Nice example of a U.S.-manufactured .41 Swiss rimfire cartridge produced by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company (U.M.C.). According to Behling, U.M.C. manufactured this cartridge from the 1870s through 1946 under the REM-UMC brand. These cartridges were made for the surplus Swiss Vetterli service rifles, which were imported into the United States in large numbers during that era.
This example features a round-nose bullet with two knurled cannelures and a single smooth cannelure just forward of the case head. Behling identifies this configuration as the improved cartridge of 1910.
Condition: The bullet shows light oxidation but retains ample lubricant. The copper case remains in good shape, exhibiting only a few small spots and very light, shallow surface scratches. Overall, a nice representative example of the U.M.C.-manufactured .41 Swiss rimfire—a notable cartridge from the late 19th to early 20th century surplus rifle era.
