Another example of this brassard posted by a forum member in 2011. 

Here are a few rounds from my collection of 60mm Mortar items. The Illum round has been repainted and stencilled with wear patterms to match something 80 years old.  Still a work in progress.  

I agree that it is a M1917 and if .45 Colt cartridges fit then the cylinder has been reamed to allow them to fit.

It's a euro clone to start with. That right there rules out any authenticity. 

I never got a stamp for all the Willys parts I got over the years, but I'll have an engine block, early gearbox housing, filterette and a set of front springs please 🤭

It's always great to  come home with stuff !

After a long search, was finally able got get some 6mm ammo to display with my Winchester Lee Rifle. This was the type of rifle the Marines used to defend the US Legation during the Boxer Rebellion. The small wood block printed Imperial Chinese flag was brought back by a Marine several years after the rebellion but before the dynasty fell.
