Description: rare US Cal .30 Auto Pistol Ball Cartridges, Model of 1918, for the Pedersen Device for the Springfield Model 1903 rifle. The Device, fitted to a modified .30-06 Springfield rifle, could convert it to a large magazine self-loading rifle for close range assault and trench clearing purposes. It arrived too late for the First World War, but was tested extensively in France and the United States in 1919 and 1920.The cartridge was later adopted by the French for the Model 1935A and 1935S pistols and the MAS 38 submachine gun.
