In this book you will find over 6,000 drawings of shotgun cartridge
head-stampings. The information on these stampings is as important
to the cartridge collector as the markings on coins are to the
numismatist (or coin collector). In the early days of breech
loading, any information to be found on a cartridge was stamped
onto the base of the brass head. Many of today's shooting folk do
not realise the vast amount of history that has gone in to the
making of the modern cartridge. One reason for producing this book
is to record some of this history so that it will not be lost to
future generations. Up until the first world war, most towns in the
UK had at least one firm that bought in printed and often stamped
cartridge cases. These old firms, gunsmiths, gun-makers and also
ironmongers, would load the cases and sell their own celebrated
brands of shotgun cartridges. The paper tubes were often printed,
but for just a little extra cost they would have their name and
that of the town stamped in to the brass heads. Not all firms that
sold their own cartridges would go to this expense, but many did
and this book provides a record of many of them for the enthusiast.
