Old Brass Identification
Bought a bunch of brass at an old gentleman's estate sale. In a Folger's coffee can were a lot of old miiltary 30/06 shell casings. Some headstamps I have never seen; can anyone help me identify the following:
FA 33 EW 43 TW 43 SL 55 I assume the TW is for Twin Cities, and the SL for Salt Lake, but what about the FA and EW? Thanks! |

Cool. The brass is in pretty good shape for its age. (Unlike me).
