With the primer removed, each slice has an open hole ready for a crystal, a length of wire, or a tie-through cord. Every casing is wet tumbled, then individually hand-inspected — a real person looking at every single piece, not a machine. From there, each slice is precision-cut and individually hand-filed to remove sharp edges and ensure a smooth, completely round finish, ready for gluing or soldering with no jagged edges to deal with. Headstamps vary — a mix of military and commercial casings — since these are genuine once-fired brass from multiple sources, not manufactured to be identical. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer the primer left in for a more authentic look, or brass instead of nickel?
