Research notes
Relatively modern (1970’s in all probability) cartridge based on an old design for the Galand reloadable cases where the bullet is screwed into the case on reloading and upon firing the thread is stripped away from the bullet. The 12mm Serpette was made by a Frenchman, Mr Serpette who owned an original Galand revolver and the mould and had cases and bullets made up.
