Ammo Experts Needed

[Cantstopdigging]

Hello Forum,

I was wondering if anyone can help me date these items. By the looks of them they look very old. Secondly, I found this round thing that is beveled on one side, and threaded on the other. Could this be a choke to a gun?

It's not a choke tube.

The .300 Savage cases are 1920 to present. "REM-UMC" was used 1911 to 1960. So your cases are 1920 to 1960.


Here's a site to research shotshell headstamps.

Thanks! the weird thing about that ring is that it was found in the middle of a woods off of any real trail.

Binocular eye-piece without the rubber cover?

There's a million-billion things and a gozillion parts to those things when you stop and look at mankind's stuff collection over the years.

The 1901 Leader Shotgun shells were produced from 1901-1920

Threaded thing looks kinda like the lens cap for a mini mag light.. kinda.

The threaded ring looks like it might be a thread protector off the muzzle of a rifle or pistol. That's all I got.

The "Mallard" shot shell was made for Sears Roebuck, I'm not sure who made them, but it's probably similar age to the 10 Ga. The threaded ring looks brass? It could possibly be a ferrule from an old brass rifle scope, but it would be hard to prove if it's not marked at all

Retired Fire, that's what I was thinking, but I can't seem to prove it. I searched the internet with no success. The 10 GA head stamp seems to be rare too. I noticed something similar in a 12 GA though.
