Some neat finds from the latest lot

Have done an initial sorting of the latest batch found. This process gets real boring but am re-uplifted when I find a new headstamp or cartridge I didn't have. Well, I had it, just didn't know I did. Anyway, here are some interesting ones.

9MM
SAA 9mm asst.jpg SAA 9mm asst hs.jpg Really adds to the variety in stock.

8MM Nambu

.455

.303 Incendiary

Looks like a great variety of shells. Found a .380ACP headstamped 9mm Short. A bunch of rimfires. A couple pinfires. And a bunch of odd calibers and loadings. One hit wonders, so to speak. A REAL COLLECTION! Found an old invoice in the box. From Manions online auction. Affirms where I got 'em from.
 
I think you are correct. It is not an exact match held side X side with a 9X19. Haven't delved that deeply into ID. A cursory separation at best. I WILL set that one aside. Holler if you see something you need.
