Whats this bullet shell I found?

[Brumble-Gum]

Hi all

I found this bullet shell the other day while out detecting. It is stamped Fiocchi 1918.
I have googled that it is possibly from a hand gun.
Does the 1918 stamp indicate that this was manufactured in 1918? I would appreciate the feed back.

Just measured it.
It is 9mm x 19mm.
It was the only one in the area. ?

Going by the date and what was mentioned on a few forums, it may have been used in the 9mm parabellum Luger and the C96 Broomandle Mauser pistols.

Better look for a few bones, a mound or a depression, or have a swing around with the big coil for some gold fillings or jewelry- could be a reason it's on it's own. If it was someone having target practice there should be several shells, so someone or something may have been despatched with a single shot to the head there.......
