HEADSTAMP CODES
Codes are listed b !"#ber $odes% t&e! i! al'&abeti$al order (ro# A to )%
(ollo*ed b a list o( s"s'e$t $odes at t&e e!d+
*Note 1- Headstamps often contain multiple pieces of information. The maker is almost
always identified. Military ammunition usually includes date information, and civilian
ammunition often has caliber information. ometimes dates are fairly obvious !"" # 1$""% &'
# 1$&'% ( 1' # )une 1$1', etc.*. ometimes the caliber information is either spelled out or
abbreviated !+,-,(% +- ./, etc.* and other times, such as on 0erman made 12M ammunition,
a catalo3 number code is used for the caliber. ometimes information on the headstamp
indicates the type of load !455 6 on .+,+ 7ritish indicates Mark 455 ball ammunition loaded
with nitrocellulose powder.* ometimes markin3s are deliberately deceivin3, as with some
.+, carbine ammunition ammunition marked /8 9', made by the 8hinese, or .+,-,( marked 7
N " ", made in the :.., both probably intended to arm allies while hidin3 their source of
supplies. ometimes the headstamp only indicates the maker of the cartrid3e case, or
distributor of the loaded cartrid3e, or the usin3 activity, not the actual ;manufacturer; of a
loaded cartrid3e.
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.
