Headstamp Addict
My old posts with wrong information are coming back to haunt me...
I hate it when old posts of mine, with errors, seem to creep back up to the surface!
I need to post some updated information in an attempt to correct some wrong information posted in the back. In my defense though, I got much of the information directly from Remington, but I have since found it to be wrong. Anyway, here is some better information, correct, as far as I know.
New Club - not a smokeless powder shell. It is a black powder shell.
Date range - 1892-1910
Double Circle around primer - 1892-1895 (end date approx.)
Plain Headstamp - 1895-1902 +/- a year or two
8 Pointed Star Variety 1 - 1902-1910 (beginning date approx.). Research indicates this variety was used for factory loaded shells.
8 Pointed Star Variety 2 - 1902-1910 (beginning date approx.). Research indicates this varidty was used for primed, empty shells.
