It does seem exactly between a 10 and a 12... hmm. I'll have to get my dad looking for his inside micrometers this evening. He's a retired machinist, so I'll leave it to him. I'd never heard of an 11 gauge before. Any links to pics of the shells or gun examples?

If this is an actual 11 gauge, how would that affect its value? This is making me wonder about the 16 gauge now. I don't have a 16 gauge shell to test it with. Maybe it's some odd gauge too?

I looked up measurements on a chart and then worked out what I think an 11 gauge should measure. Is this right?

10 ga= 19.69mm or 0.775in

11 ga= 19.11mm or 0.752in (???)

12 ga= 18.53mm or 0.729in

Thanks,
Shane
