Number 12 - Remington Arms Co.  They moved their ammunition facility to Lonoke, Arkansas, USA from (I believe) Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA.  So any current ammunition with that headstamp is made in Lonoke, Arkansas, USA.

#9 is Winchester, #14 is OLIMP-R (Russian match grade ammunition from the 1970's onwards. Mainly 22LR cartridges.), Russia and #14 is S&W. One can not tell if the S&W one was made in the USA or Mexico as they used the ame headstamp as the ones made in Mexico were made under contract for S&W.

Thanks
