Headstamp Identification
There are a couple of web sites which have headstamp id information, but I have lost them (don't trust computers to save info). If any of you know of them, please give me their addresses.
What has happened is that I have a number of S & B 45 auto cases which have at least four different headstamp markings. I have tried to get a decent photo showing them, but don't have a good enough camera. If you look at the case bases you see something like this: S & B (2) (1) 45 Auto Some cases have a "flaming ball" with flames up at position (1). Some have a circle with vertical bar at position (1). Others have a "flaming ball" with flames down at position (2). Others seem just to have a small circle at position (2). I can't identify them by date because I have collected them over several years, and they have been reloaded maybe four or five times. I try to keep cases segregated by manufacturer. But it looks now as though segregation by headstamp for S & B is needed. If you have seen this also, I would appreciate knowing. Thanks in advance. Sorry for the length of this letter. willr Last edited by willr; September 5, 2011 at 04:33 PM. |

Click on "symbols" or one of the other options shown. 7.62 Russian and Czech cases had a flaming ball |
