Thanks Hal
So I could safely assume it is the markings on the bottom of the casing that designates the age of production?
I have many 45 acp ball cartridges but are from the last decade or so.

Nice. Wish I would find nice stuff like that down my basement
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Very Nice Hal,
Thanks for sharing them.
That made me post my Steel cased version.

Great stuff Hal
Hi Larry, sorry for the late reply. In answer to your question; My guess is as good as yours as to the markings or age of these cartridges. Best, Hal

The head stamp poses some conversation. I always thought the single digit 5 from FC was for 1945. The other side is 1955 with a single digit. I do not have a source to figure out the lot numbers. Nice ammo.
