No, I pick up cartridges to go with my long guns. I collect mainly Canadian military rifles from 1860 to 1918. This way collecting is never ending.

 

[lannard]

very nice, i just cant afford to collect everything i would like, and ammo is cost effective. i sure would have liked to find 50lbs of it for $20. lol

Wow very nice collection!

I want 2 origionals of each of the following

martini henry

snider

Pinfire- 7mm-9mm-11/12mm

It would also be cool to have a origional bess paper cartridge!

For those of us that shoot our old service arms, having origional cartridges is very neat.

I love the look of the origional martini cartridges, nearly a different animal then what I shoot out of mine today "thick modern jamieson brass"

That must hurt in retrospect.

Some of those old cartridges go for 30- 50 bucks each....even in rough shape.

Sealed boxes/packages

 

[Musketfire]

Jpc....WOW thats something!!

Heres my limited contribution, 1 sealed paper wrapped tube of 19th century era percussion caps

And 1 opened example of whats in the paper wrapped package- pardon the pictures, I tried to cover the flash "the red tint" and it did not help.

I tried the caps on my origional 1860 army and they are far far hotter then my ccI caps

43 Mauser ammo value?

I have some 43 Mauser Ammunition that came with a rifle I purchased. Some is marked Dominion, others DC (Dominion again?), and another has no head stamp, is Berdan primed and the bullet is paper patched. I suppose this may be collectable? Any idea of its value?
sorry if I hi-jacked the thread. I'll try to get some photos up...

Cheers. Steve.
