Argentine M1

[Nicolas P]

Argentine M1, shell and liner locally manufactured.

No markings on the shell as is always the case with these. The sweatband is marked "FM" for Fabricaciones Militares, a state-owned company which produces firearms, ammo, explosives, etc. I read somewhere these liners were subcontracted to a private firm, don't know if it's true. They were made of resin-impregnated nylon fabric and it can be clearly seen where the pieces of fabric were cut to give them a more "conical" shape prior to being pressed.

Thanks for watching!
