The .32 rimfire was a common civilian cartridge post Civil War up to about WW2. The 32 rimfire was generally used as a small game hunting cartridge, like the 22 Long Rifle cartridge is today.
The 'H' stamp on the base indicates it was made by Winchester, the company that bought the Henry rifle company.
The Henry rifle that was used in the Civil War was chambered for a 44 rimfire cartridge, known as the 44 Henry flat (the nose of the bullet had a small flat at the front where it rested against the next cartridge in the tubular magazine)

Ho OK so .44 and .45 really is the diameter of the cartridge in inches 

Posted on: July 13, 2011, 05:49:39 PM
This is all making sense now so I guess that the other one that I have must be for a rifle it's .45 but overall length is 33.5mm
