Scott Doyle:
David Wright is updating the AFTE Headstamp Guide that can be found here. 

We welcome new submissions and those can be attached to posts in this forum.  Please pay close attention to the quality of the image being used and try to copy this format as closely as possible.

Include in your post as much information about the manufacturer as possible.

We hope to build one of the best headstamp guides on the net!  With your help this shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks!

Chris Monturo:
It would be an excellent opportunity for an intern to learn information about various headstamps while helping the discipline.  It probably won't be until next summer, but I'll have our next intern sift through the ammo collection and upload some of our samples.

David Wright:
Here's an example of how you can contribute:

Headstamp found on cartridges marketed as Silver Bear
Manufactured by Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant (Russia)
Imported by Zanders’ Sporting Goods

This headstamp will be added to a new "Symbols" album in the Headstamp Gallery

Scott Doyle:
We have installed updated software for the AFTE Headstamp gallery and David has been working hard at adding new headstamps and manufacturer info.

The updated gallery can be found at:

You can also click the headstamp in the upper right corner to reach the new headstamp gallery.

Thanks David for your continued hard work on this resource!

Scott Doyle:
Richard,

I would guess that David will replace poorer quality images with better ones.  That will be a time dependent thing.  Most look pretty good now!  But there's always room for improvement!

For your second question, I suspect your PC screen resolution is only 800x600.  The width of the gallery was probably too wide, causing you to have to scroll from the right to the left.  I modified the layout a little to reduce the column width from 4 to 3 and the rows from 3 to 2.  That will hopefully allow the full width of the album to show up in your browser window.  Let me know if that didn't fix your problem. 

Thanks for helping out!

Merry Christmas!

Scott
