PETERS 28 Headstamp on 30-06 Springfield brass
« on: April 19, 2012, 01:16:47 PM »
Found this oddball in a batch of once fired R-P 30-06 brass. Looked through some of the usual cartridge headstamp identifiers but didn't find anything close to this one:
 
 
Peters, as I understand, ceased to exist in 1934.
 
This is in fact a 30-06 case and has had a crimp so I'm assuming military but from 1928? This piece looks better than some of the newer brass of the bunch. 
Any ideas?

Yes, in the depression, Peters was taken over by Remington. My understanding too. And I think there is some rule for QM/storage military ammo is to be dated. So my guess, too would be a military Peters Cartridge from 1928. Beyond that I could only speculate wildly. Try not to do that. Happy trails.

 Just considering that cartridges journey and era makes the find well worth it. Also makes me comfortable in that which just hasn't changed 8).  j
