Unusual headstamp (Turtlefoot?)

HillTopper · Mar 7, 2017

Hello,

I haven't been on the forum in a while and am hoping Turtlefoot is still active and interested in headstamps. I checked his database and couldn't find an exact match to this one. It's a "Winchester No. 12" with an outer ring. It appears to be a full metal shell.

Thanks for any help.

I won't pretend to be the expert that Turtlefoot is on shotgun headstamps, but my guess would be a high-brass shell, not an all-metal shell.

Thank you. I didn't realize there was a high brass type. That makes sense given what's left of what I have. Hopefully Turtlefoot will recognize it.
