Pamphlet 1879, Price list of Ordnance Stores, dated 1914, page 69, lists the body gauges for 1898 and 1906 cartridges at $2.35.  They're absent from the 1917 edition (which will eventually become a wallpaper panel....).

Made at Frankford in 1908.  It doesn't show up in their production reports.   :-?

Interesting mystery.
