This is a reference book written for collectors and it contains much historical information which in many instances will be lost for ever unless documented. Many of the former companies who once produced these collectors' items no longer exist. The aim of this book, which is the third and last of a series, is to record data on further cartridge manufacturers and loaders, of which today only a handful remain. These three books offer the collector a reference source on mainly former ammunition manufactures and their products. The previous two books (Eley Cartridges and Birmingham Cartridge Manufacturers 978-1-84689-064-2) have afforded several Forensic Ballistic laboratories a source of data on this subject which had never previously been available to them. British Cartridge Manufacturers is illustrated throughout with contemporary illustrations and has detailed lists of manufacturers and their products.
