Codes are listed by number codes, then in alphabetical order from A to Z, followed by a list of suspect codes at the end.

*Note 1- Headstamps often contain multiple pieces of information. The maker is almost always

identified. Military ammunition usually includes date information, and civilian ammunition often has caliber information. Sometimes dates are fairly obvious (44 = 1944; 72 = 1972; 6 12 =

June 1912, etc.). Sometimes the caliber information is either spelled out or abbreviated (30-06;

38 SPL, etc.) and other times, such as on German made DWM ammunition, a catalog number

code is used for the caliber. Sometimes information on the headstamp indicates the type of load (VII Z on .303 British indicates Mark VII ball ammunition loaded with nitrocellulose powder.)

Sometimes markings are deliberately deceiving, as with some .30 carbine ammunition

ammunition marked LC 52, made by the Chinese, or .30-06 marked B N 4 40 made in the U.S., both probably intended to arm allies while hiding their source of supplies. Sometimes the

headstamp only indicates the maker of the cartridge case, or distributor of the loaded

cartridge, or the using activity, not the actual "manufacturer" of a loaded cartridge.

Even collectors with years of experience and extensive reference libraries end up with a few

cartridges they cannot identify, so don't feel bad if you cannot identify everything.

Code

Manufacturer(or in some cases the maker of the cartridge

case, or distributor of the loaded

ammunition, or a using activity, or other

meaning. See Note 1 above *)
