Thanks Kahnjar! Do you think Yemini seems right or could it be something else?

I realy have no idea as to origin and have not seen anything like it before (sadly!) As to what would fit, there is a book (similar sort of thing to Gun Digest) called Cartridges of the World. This shows dimensions of all?? known cartridges split into Military, Sporting etc. I feel sure that you will be able to find someone local to you who has a copy you could borrow. I have a copy here but it would be quite a long job to sort out what would fit your belt, though if you would give me base and top diam and also cartridge length I will see if I can find anything that would fit. It could also be made to hold powder dispensers for muzzle loaders rather than complete cartridges.
