I've searched this forum and several others and come up empty-handed, so I'll just ask. Here's the deal...

Few months ago at the local show I picked up 240 pieces of brand new Winchester .44 Mag brass. Didn't really need it, but it was a good price so I brought it home and stashed it away. Doing some reloading last night I ran across this brass. Come to find out that there were some oddballs hiding in the lot: 80 pieces of "Keith 44 MAG" headstamped brass.

So did Elmer Keith produce a line of handgun brass or did some guy named Keith think it would be cool to buy a run of brass with his own headstamp? My guess is on Elmer, but can anyone confirm this?
