Re: Cartridge headstamp?

Thank you for the info. No I do not have the cartridge, it was described to me.
I can see that I need to talk the bosses into buying the CartWinPro.
Thanks again for the help

Hi everyone.  My coworker, Steve, received this cartridge as evidence.  Does anyone know the manufacturer of this headstamp?  I can't find it in the gallery.  Thanks!

Alina,

it is obviously not a very fine printed headstamp but it seems to read as

   FMCSF
=             =   
   9mm59

This indicates as manufacturer:
 
Fabrica Militar de Cartuchos San Francisco;
San Francisco/ Cordoba
Argentina
9mm Luger made in 1959

With compliments of CartWinPro  ;)

Can anyone provide a manufacturer for a 45 ACP cartridge case with a triangle headstamp followed by "93"?

Bob is correct.  The "triangle"   93   45 AUTO is also listed in CartWinPro as Norinco.

Does anyone know what country the military headstamp code 310 refers to?

Aaron,

I know that 311 and 312 are unknown factories, Peoples Republic of China but I can't find a 310. Are we talking 7.62X39?

Bill,

Yep, we have the same info.  I'm guessing that 310 might be in the same series, but can't find any source that actually shows that code related to a country.  In this particular case, the cartridge is a 12.7X108mm, but we'll take any info on 310 being related a country in any caliber.

Based on the Cartridge Headstamp Guide by Henry P. White and Burton D. Munhall--they have 310 listed as Russia, Soviet manufacture--unknown factory.  I will keep looking to try to nail it down more.

Russian makes sense. Aaron are you thinking a DShK?

Here are some sites that offer general info on the 12.7x108mm, not much in the way of helping with the headstamp, but do not know how much info you have available.

Aaron,

Are there any letters or just the 310?
