Very interesting. I've never snap caps made without some sort of plunger, or malleable material, for the firing pins to strike against. But, clearly they have been used as snap caps at some time.
Give that these don't have anything of that sort, and that they appear to be loaded with a wad and shot, and the hull is see-thru, I'm more inclined to think they were never intended as snap caps, but more as an item to show the way a particular load looked.
Those heads appear to be steel. Is that the case, Phil?
