32 S&W ammo (NOW WITH PICS)

[PerversPépère]

Found an old box with 25 rounds of a revolver ammo headstamped 32 S&W U (?) C Co.
That U has a strange shape; could it be a faulty D stamp? all of the cartridges heads are identically stamped.
Any historical data?

If someone around here needs old rounds of that caliber, just PM me.
I'll be glad to send them to you.

Yes, it is a D which is has been chipped. I guess they couldn't be bother to regrind it. In those days it was all manual.

I guess it passed inspection, but I'd bet the heading die was changed after the run.

To give, Lou, to give!
BTW, it's already packaged for shipping to a member.
Speaking about that funny stamping, if it was a "U" it could be an ancient Remington trademark stamp but I'm not sure.
If it was a "D", could it be "Dominion"? In that case, such a faulty run could add interest for a collector, I guess.

Dominion Cartridge Co.

Unfortunately, cartridges are not like stamps and a faulty marking does not bring a bigger price.

Probably not but interesting, nevertheless.
So their origin is Dominion Cartridge Co.
Would you try to guess a manufacturing date?

Some mistakes do bring a premium. DCCo once ran off a batch of "44 CLOT" ammo.
