I found it on a DOD publication.

TAA = Taiwan Arsenal

Nankang, Taipei

Thanks George Kass for pointing me towards the publication to search for.

I'm not sure how this helps with headstamps?   ???  Looks like military assigned lot numbers for different mfrs?  Or am I looking at the wrong document?

There's a DIA publication that has some good headstamp info...

Can you attach your's as a PDF or is that a secure document?

The newest version is secure.  Sorry Guys! I realized that when Mr. Kass asked for it.  Otherwise, I would have posted the link.

The site that you gave has the older versions for sale for $25, but I don't have any of those, either, or I would post them.  Any of the older headstamps should be covered in other databases, since they are available (I know George has some older versions.)

If anyone ever has questions about Newer NATO ammunition (with the clover leaf symbol on it) that is not listed in any of your other references, please feel free to send me a photo and I can look it up.  The information is not classified, it is just not in a place that is readily available.

Ashley,
  Ammunition that is made for military contract by various vendors is given a specific 2 or 3 letter code that is specific to that company and identifies where that cartridge case was originally made.  The headstamp must bear that letter code, year of manufacture and the cloverleaf.  So you might be looking at the right thing, becasuse what I have is a listing of all the letter codes matched to the factory and location, rather than headstamp pictures.

  So my headstamp was made in 2006 in Taiwan for military use (NATO approved).
  The reference you posted is a great reference that I did not have.  Thanks for posting it!

Does anyone recognize this headstamp symbol?  I searched the images on the AFTE website and in the Kass headstamp guide but didn't see anything like it.

We need to get that headstamp into the gallery under "I".  Mr. Wright do your magic.  ;)

Debbie,

Thanks for the post!  As Charles pointed out, I've been asleep at the wheel and missed a few opportunities to get this added to the database.

The headstamp has been added to the gallery under the Letter I section and can now be found here:

This one has us stumped, but it could be a case of the Mondays.  The caliber marking is at 12:00; the symbol is at 6:00.  The timer is going...

Then it absolutely was a case of the Mondays.  Thank you much.  Tunnel vision negated looking under the letters gallery...  Wouldn't have happened on a Tuesday!  :-\
