I found this box of original .32 rimfire rounds at a new gun shop in Middleboro, MA today. I paid $15 for all 50 rounds.
The cases are marked "U", "P" and "H", along with many that have no markings at all.
While they look corroded, for the most part I think it is dried lubrication on the bullets.
Can anyone tell me what the "H" stamp would be for? I'm pretty sure the "U" is UMC, and guessing the "P" is Peters, but have no idea what the non marked ones and the "H" marked ones are.
Any information would be appreciated. When I got my .32 Rimfire Model 1 1/2, I never thought I'd find original ammo for it, and even empty boxes were going for hundreds of dollars. I'm pretty pleased with my find.
What do you more experienced collectors think?
