Old middle east 12g shell- anyone recognize?

[Stonewall1]

I've had this for a while, just curious if anyone knows anything about it. Full metal shell, middle eastern writing. Just a neat old thing. Thanks!

And that was all the info I needed to find it online. Greener martini 12/14 round!

Blowing the nose sometimes helps with that.

Anyone ever shot one?

I have one of those cartridges in my collection. I was told that it was made that way, with the stepped case and the ring around the primer in the case head, so if any locals got ahold of them they wouldn't be able to use them with any other kind of ammo.
