Title: Unknown headstamps need ID'd for gallery

I''m assuming it's Egyptian because it looks very similar to Scotts. However, verification is needed for the gallery.

The box this one is in appears to be Egyptian as well, but i can't read it so i can 't say who made it.

Post by: Axel Manthei on November 16, 2005, 04:19:20 PM: Dear friends and colleagues,

the 11 headstamp is definitely Prvi Partisan/ former Yugoslavia. We have this variation with the year codes between 1951 to 1955 in our databases. I have recently seen it on 8 x 57 IS cartridges.

The Egyptian headstamp is from Shoubra factory. Usually in Russian calibers and 9 Luger.

You can find these headstamps plus currently about 6.400 more in our headstamp database. It took me about 7 seconds to find the above mentioned headstamps.
We also have ~1750 color codes, ~1600 manufacturer, ~1.100 calibers + 4.000 synonyms for them and ~3.400 complete cartridges in our databases.
For more details see www.cartwinpro.com (http://www.cartwinpro.com).

Best regards

Title: Re: Unknown headstamps need ID'd for gallery
Post by: Charles Clow on November 17, 2005, 10:46:02 AM: Yeah, I saw that but most of the characters were the same. Probably a different caliber or something. But our friend at CartWinPro doublely confirmed that it was Egyptian.

Post by: Axel Manthei on November 17, 2005, 05:22:34 PM: From our files the number 27 (lower right group) at 4 o'clock indicates the factory Shoubra.

The 12 o'clock group indicates state propery and the lower right group at 8 o'clock reads as 79 and is the year 1979 of manufacturing.

Shoubra used also different arrangements for their headstamps.
