Let's see some old, rare, or otherwise unique brass (or loaded ammunition) and anything you'd like to share about it.
I was sorting through some of my misc. 45ACP brass last night and ran across a few that caught my eye.
They're listed by headstamp/manufacturer/date/information.
FA 2 14 / Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia, PA / February 1914 / It's a real shame this is a fired case. I would love to have this as a loaded case.
FA 10 15 / Frankford Arsenal in Phildelphia, PA / October 1915
EC 42 / Evansville Ordnance Plant in Evansville, IN / 1942 / This is neat as it was made here in our great state of Indiana. The plant was operated by the Chrysler Corp between '42 and '44 and produced billions of rounds. Some confuse it with ammo made at the Eau Claire, WI plant, but they only produced 30 carbine at that plant.
I've also got a few Remington Arms and Winchester Repeating Arms cases dated between '43 and '45.
