More About the Author

Born in Southampton, Long Island, New York I began collecting firearms and cartridges at an early age. Some 30 years later I co-authored 58's Are The Greatest with William G. Gessner, Sr. on .58 caliber ammunition and as an afterthought I authored Military Cartridge Headstamps for the purpose of identifying cartridge manufacturers around the world and NOT to identify cartridges.

This review is from: Military Cartridge Headstamps Collectors Guide (Paperback)

This book tells you next to nothing. It is very poor for cartridge identification.
The caliber is listed as a catagory but not the individual cartridge name so as to lump all cartridges into catagories ex. 30-40 Krag but not the actual individual cartridge name, further listing several bullet diameters for these cartridges. Also only a handfull of cartridges have the shell dimensions drawn. I find this book difficult to see what value it has, im sorry to have to be the first to evaluate this book. Far better is "Cartridges of the world", also "Ammo Encyclopedia".
