Default Website For Shotgun Shell Identification

I saw this site in some of my Internet ramblings and thought someone might be interested in researching an old shot gun shell they've found. Some of these date back to the 1800's and are quite collectable. I'm going to look through some of the ones that I've found just to see if they are old. Anyway, if someone is interested the site is: http://members.shaw.ca/cartridge-corner/shotgun.htm

Default Thanks

I found this site very informative. I will use this in both detecting and my business of private investigations. Thanks for sharing this information.
