I once passed on a 16/6.5mm cape gun that was so very special in many ways (cartridge trap, peepsight in the tang, set trigger, pretty wood and engraving etc) but it was built around a long 'pencil-thin' cartridge for which I could not get proper brass or even a 'parent case' from which to form the brass.

no doubt it was the 6,5x70R, the "Bleistiftpatrone" or pencil cartridge
brass is available form Horneber like any other obsolete german case if you have time to wait. I look for such a cape gun here for a while now because of the strange Bleistiftpatrone. there is no case you can use but the its the mother case of the new 6x70R Norma so you can probably resize this .
