norma

Living on an island that has many estates that facilitate deer stalking, I often found rifle shells on my travels in the hills when I was young. Many of them bore the name "norma". These days I visit bigger hills and bigger estates and it's always a reminder of the hills of home when I find a cartridge. This one was found recently in the Cairngorms.

"Norma was started in 1902 by the Enger brothers from Oslo... The name was chosen because one of the Enger brothers was very fond of the opera Norma by Bellini." [Wikipedia].
