Few new things

[srss]

I have not posted in a while but here are a few things i have found latley. I need some info on the three bullets in the center. The one on the left i cant make out what it says but the center one says REM-UMC 17, the one on the right says UMC 38-40. I also found a couple pecies of cannon ball and end of pewter spoon a small lock and several minnie balls.
Thanks for looking. Steve

I have found some umc shot shells and they date from the mid 1800's. Don't know about the bullets. Nice finds

If the one on the right is a .38-40, the one in the middle has to be a 9mm or a .380 ACP. Can't tell about the first one. 38-40 was a popular rifle/revolver combo back in the 1900s to about 1930. You could shoot both revolver and rifle with the same cartridge. The middle one would have been made for a semiauto pistol, probably an early colt or an import such as Beretta , Mauser or Luger type auto pistol. Monty

Here's a good link to learn when shell casing were made & by what company, when they went out of business ect.

It might be for shotgun, but it'll still give you insight like the rem-umc
