New Headstamps (part 2)
Kelsey Cramer:
Came across these and didn't see them on here or on the headstamp guide. Quick search found their firearms (https://www.sarsilmaz.com/en/) but I didn't find much about the ammunition.
Edited to add "SAR" headstamp for searching.
Marah Carney:
Submitting a new to me headstamp that I could not find in the headstamp guide. I came across this "VNM 20 9P" headstamp in casework. A Google search led me to the forum feed on IAA's site detailing their research into Medef Defense Ltd's Venom cartridge out of Turkey (https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/venom-9x19-ammo-steel-case-arrived/41225). Packaging information is included on that forum feed...I don't have packaging info to share.
See attached headstamp examples.
Noticed some strange manufacturing defects across the primer (hand loaded brass??), and a red case mouth sealant. But what is really cool is the manufacturing marks around the characters of the headstamp on the unfired example. The cartridge cases were loaded with a brass jacketed FMJ round nose bullet, slightly concave base. All components non-magnetic. Again, not sure if these are factory loaded or hand loaded (seem a little sloppy to be factory loaded).
Axel Manthei:
Marah,
this looks like a reloaded cartridge with a primer punch mark & a mark from the shell holder.
Greetings
Axel
Mallory Brewer:
Marah,
Thanks for posting about the VNM headstamp. It has now been added to the Headstamp Guide.
