    I'm looking for cartidges for a display

    Can anyone recommend a good source to get period cartridges. I'm looking for actual military issue from WWI or WWII or both. I'd like to get all or most from the same place if possible. Only want 1 of each type.

    This is what I have:

    Britishicon 303 WWII
    Sovieticon 7.62x54 WWII
    US 45 Auto WWII

    I need everything else. Priorities would be:

    Germanicon 8mm, and 9mm Luger
    Both Italianicon Carcano's
    Both Japanese Arisakaicon's
    Frenchicon Lebel and MAS 36
    US 30-06 and 30 carbine
    Swissicon 7.5
    Steyr original and reworked
    Soviet Nagant revolver

    Not looking for "rare" pieces, just an example for each.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The majority of mine have come from gun shows, old gunshops and flea markets. Pawing through those trays of old loose ammo can produce some interesting items for a cartridge collection.

    FWIW, there are two good cartridge shows in PA where you can easily find all of those, and much more. They are in Williamsport (June) and Morgantown (Aug.).
