    It's a good start with a lot of broad coverage. However, a quick look showed a number of mistakes and missing markings.
    Cartridges were never (until recently) made for collecting, and most intelligence services kind of ignored them. It is near-to-impossible to find a single source for any aspect of cartridge identification and/or collecting. I am currently looking at 3 large shelves of printed ammo books, and that doesn't include multiple volumes of periodicals and a few large filing cabinet drawers. Then there's the reference collection itself...........

    Wikipedia is not a good source of reliable info. Use this.
    Headstamp Codes - International Ammunition Association
    Spelling and Grammar count!
