Many thanks to everyone who has submitted headstamps for inclusion in the Headstamp Guide.  Your efforts are appreciated.

I believe that I have updated the Headstamp Guide to include all of the headstamps that have been submitted.  The headstamps that included sufficient information have been moved to the appropriate galleries, and the other headstamps have been moved to the "New" gallery.

Charles, thanks for providing the reference to the items already in the Headstamp Guide.  

I merged the posts regarding the Igman (IK) headstamp into one topic and deleted the duplicate posts for the sake of clarity.

Richard,

I'm glad you finally found the time to post all of the remaining headstamp pictures.  I didn't want to overburden you with the pictures I have been sending.  I was able tonight to get about another 9 or so ready for you.  I still have about 20 or so rifle headstamps to go, that is until I come across more in my collection.  
If these images are to small let me know and I can re-size them and re-post.
Jim

PS I re-sized and re-posted the images...

Speer 380 Auto.

Linda Olin from CCI/Speer Technical Services indicates that:

The two dots on either side of the word SPEER indicate that the cartridge case was manufactured in Lewiston, Idaho at the CCI/Speer manufacturing facility. They call it 'Lewiston Brass'.

Thought this may be a good entry into the Headstamp Guide.

Zac,

Information from the manufacturer/marketer is exactly what I like to receive when updating the AFTE Headstamp Guide.  I will be updating the guide with this headstamp and information soon.  

Richard

p.s. I had an instance where someone emailed me information regarding a headstamp, and I responded to the email asking for the source of the information.  However, I went ahead and updated the guide while awaiting the information regarding the source.  I was very embarrassed to find out that the information supplied to me had been copied and pasted from CartWinPro.  I again offer my most sincere apologies to Axel and CartWinPro regarding the previous incident.
