Headstamp Pictures Wanted
If your picture is used on the Headstamp program, your name will be included with the photo unless you wish to remain anonymous. The Headstamps needed below are mostly non specific as to caliber (unless stated). Samples needed are either absent from the Headstamp Guide or they are to replace poor photo's or B&W drawings. If Headstamps required are specific to lettering I will use the clock positions to describe. Ex Letter at 3 o'clock will mean that letter needs to be at the 3 o'clock position on the headstamp. A description of the manufacturer or country may be shown to assist with ID. The headstamp itself is listed in Blue text. Note. some may not even exist that are on this list or may only only exist in a shotshells or drawings. These are all included as various sources both past and present have reported these to exist over the years, hence trying to prove or disprove their existence. Thank you for anything you can assist with.
