Looks like a .38 special projectile.

These were my grandfathers . I was wondering about where they might have come from area wise my grandfather traveled the US for years



I have had them for about 20 years now they were the reason I started hunting myself

Possibly a .38 S&W (precursor to the .38 Special).

looks like a .380 short (.375 x .525), but there are so many variants out there & the pics aren't highest resolution. Try List of handgun cartridges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, etc
