Its time to tap into the deep knowledge base of AH.

I have come across a bunch of old pistol ammo and since I know very little about them, I’m hoping some of you AH’ers will be able to shed some light on the calibers in question and possibly a timeline when they mayhave been common.

The short stubby one in the middle with the pin on it is a .45 pin fire. The one to the left of it is a .41 Long Colt.

I'm sure that there is a .45 Long Colt along with .45 ACP in there also along with a couple of rim fire rounds, perhaps a .32 rim fire.
 
L to R:
1. .32 S&W short made by Remington/ Union metalic Cartridge
2. 7,65 aka .32 ACP made by Hirtenberg
3. 9mm Parabellum blank made by PMP in South Africa
4. Seems to be a Tokarev 7,62x25
5. .41 Long Colt
6. Judging by the size in relation to the 9mmP it is 12mm pinfire revolver cartridge
7. No idea. Size of .455 Webley but not the rim
8. .38 Rimfire revolver
9. .38 S&W or .380 rimmed
10. Another .38 Rimfire
11. Seems somewhat bigger than a .22 Magnum. My guess would be .25 Stevens Rimfire.

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
