Found these in my father-in-laws barn. They are from either the 60’s or early 70’s. Look closely, see it?

 

[JimNM]

Nope. Don see nuffin. What do you see??

 

[tor47]

"cariber"

 

[FLgunner]

Isn't that how it's pronounced in Japan?

 

[Chachoze]

It weird how that image of the pellet makes the skirts looks more square with rounded edges rather than round... other than that not sure what else there is to notice.

Is there flow through jet holes in the 2 grooves in the front with air channels in the head and in the skirt to cut air flow restriction for speed?

They shot great in the 124 I bought in 1976. I read somewhere each pellet was turned on a lathe. Not true. I still have an empty box. I think I had a box that said "Lion Zet".

 

[qball]

Yes! I see some vintage pellet! Very cool!

You sir are ABSOLUTELY correct!

 

[SDellinger]

This is an ARH pamphlet on the 55N from long ago. It refers to Lion Zet pellets.

I wonder if in Japan they make fun of the way us Americans mispronounce certain Japanese words. Like the Panko. Most Americans will pronounce it PAN-koe when in fact it’s pronounced pahn-KOH.
