Greetings,

I have updated the headstamp list of Chinese small arms cartidges and was wondering if anyone has a 5.8 x 21mm pistol cartidge or confirm the existence of Factory 74. I am reading off a photograph of the stenciling on a wooden ammunition crate supposedly carrying 5.8 x 21mm cartridges.

Liang Thank you sir! I didn't know you could collect ammunition in China, even cut-aways. I found a colleague who confirms facory number 74 from headstamps. Does anyone know the designation on the Chinese 9mm rimless cartridge, eg 9 x 20mm, the People's Armed Police Force use in their new revolver. Basically a Smith and WSesspon Model 19 with a three inch barrel ion .38/200-in.

I have a 5.8x21 in my collection with a 74 03 headstamp. I have another, will check on the h/s.
The other, a case, is 11 01.

Do you know the length of the 9mm revolver case as from my research it isn't 19mm. Which military force do you belong to by the way as the 5.8 x 21mm cartridges in the third photograph are for a silenced sub-machine gun.
