My friend Ron (who does not have a computer) has for a long time wanted to find out who the following cartridge case makers are.
This is his first WW1 era list and I will in a few days post his second WW1 list (unusual monograms) and his WW2 list.
Sorry about the overall quantity, but he has a lot of unknown cases collected over many years.
Any help in identification really appreciated.
Thanks,
Graeme

G-Day Graeme,
Say howdy to Ron for me.
I have also got a query on cart case monograms. Mainly for MSF, I have seen this in Australia on 18pdr, 25pdr, 3"20Cwt cases.
MS was Salisbury in South Australia, MF was Footscray in Victoria, but MSF??? I don't know if it is even Australian.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Regards Ozzi.

It's possible, but not easy or likely to be very quick as the cases don't belong to me. I'm enquiring for a friend and only going from his handwritten notes.
