Military Cartridge Headstamps Collectors Guide Paperback – January 1, 2019

Few mistakes but all knowledge is good knowledge

Hard to find information

The book actually received directly from Amazon supposedly was published in 2007 by Heritage Books of Westminster, Maryland. However, according to the last page of the book actually received, it was "Made in the USA Lexington, Kentucky 28 May 2016." That is, the book actually received apparently was not in fact produced by the original publisher. The book appears to have been intended to have been produced in color. However, parts of the text such as country names are pale gray - as if they were supposed to be in some color (red or blue likely) - instead of black. The same is true of the photographs that are not clear and are mottled gray instead of black and white, which would have been acceptable though not ideal. Most of the photographs should be either the color of brass or green lacquered steel but none except those on the covers are in color. The covers are reasonably good. Given the quality of the reproduction that appears to not be from the original publisher I would not have bought the book from Amazon.

The book was incorrectly cut so the pages were on an angel. The rest was o.k.

I was very Disappointed in this book for the following reasonsPhotos of Cartridge and headstamps were badly out of focus, looked to be bad copies of downloaded computer printsThe layout of headstamp drawings in a lot of cases looks silly, typed straight and did not follow the curve of the base of the cartridgeSome of the General information was helpfulI am a long-time Cartridge collector with about 100 Reference Books in my Ammo library, the Book Review by Garry Roedl was so wrong

Good book, most useful

Great book
