There was a small glitch in my previous posting - somehow the word lacquered got a little messed up.

9 MM Headstamp
« Reply #16 on: November 15, 2005, 11:46:43 AM »
Good Morning to all.
   I need help (again) with identifying who markets the attached cartridge. I’ve looked under Georges site and other with no luck. Has anybody seen this one? Incase my attachments do not work, the Headstamp is 9 MM with what looks like a circle just on the outside of the primer.
Thanks
Garry

I just checked and found that the headstamp photo did not show up, so here (I think)  is the headstamp.

Gary,

The case was used by Pretoria Metal Pressings of South Africa. I documented this headstamp in my data base in 1997.

Thanks George.
        Is it in your current data base? I must have been searching the wrong way if it is. If it is there, what is it listed under?
        Thanks again

Can anyone else access the "Letters" headstamp guide?  I've had problems over the past couple of days.  I can look at any of the others with no problems.

Thanks

Jay,

I just tried and had no problem.  That is after Charles showed me where the headstamp guide was. :-\  That is how long it's been since I went there.

Jay,

Two weeks ago I was unable to enter the Letter section of the headstamp guide.  I emailed Scott and he told me that there was a computer glich.  I emailed Scott this morning and he informed me that he had been working on the issue with the headstamp guide this past weekend.

Jay,

I think you can still search it, it just doesn't let you browse like the others.  No idea what would cause that.

What headstamp are you looking for?

As of five minutes ago, the "Letters" section of the AFTE Headstamp Guide should once again be functional.

If a few folks would be kind enough to give it a try and give me affirmation, it would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the delay, I'll continue to work on getting things cleaned up.

I'm also attempting to link the ammo box submissions to the appropriate headstamps.  You can try out this feature by navigating to the B headstamp album, clicking on the Barrett 50 cal. headstamp and the link "view ammo box" that appears at the end of the narrative.  Please let me know if the link is not functional.

Thanks again to all that have made contributions and I'll keep you updated as changes are made.

Thanks for getting the headstamp guide fixed David.

The headstamp i'm interested in looks to be on an 8mm Mauser cartridge oriented as shown:


M.M.A.P.B

  1946

Jay,

could there be a F in front of the M.M.A.P.B ?

Then it is Fabrica Militar de Municiones de Armes Portatiles "Borghi" in Argentina

(with compliments of CartWinPro ;) )

Greetings
Axel

« Reply #28 on: October 16, 2007, 11:07:49 AM »

                   8         R

                    9MMK

I know that it is a 380 auto/9mm Kurtz, but can anybody tell me anything else about it?

Thank you

Garry,

If the 8 is in the 9 o'clock position and the R is in the 3 o'clock position, that would be consistent with Musgrave (Pty) Limited, Bloemfontein, South Africa.

In CartWinPro there is also a note that says cartridge case made by PMP and loaded by Hirtenberg.

You also might want to post a photo for inclusion in the AFTE Headstamp Gallery, because I didn't see that one in there.

Richard
