Raimey,
No sign of sleeving, and the mark under 118/35 is undistinguishable even using my big eyes with the high mag. lenses. If you could tell me what you think it might be, or give me some choices as to what it could be, maybe that will help me decipher what it actually is. The front of it appears to be a back-slanted lower case "u", or from the other side of the barrel, an italic, lower case "n", but that is just a guess because I don't know what I should be looking for.
I do load, and have a nice 1928, Hollywood, single stage press that looks like it would do 50BMG's, so if can find out what I have here, I'll spring for the dies and cases, and try to find or mold some bullets. I used to really enjoy molding bullets when I was shooting 1000 rds a week of 45acp's. So, I just really need to find out what I need to put this old girl back in service.
I really appreciate all the help...thanks a lot!
