Talk:List of military headstamps

Latest comment: 3 months ago by Mic Warn in topic Ammo probably from WW2 period

Found a bullet/unfired cartridge in a parking lot in Marysville WA today. The stamp on the base is D M 43. History please? Not familiar with 43.


Thank You, Lawrence Birkhofer


DM 43 would be Des Moines Ordnance Plant, 1943 production. US military small arms ammunition plant that was in operation during WW II. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.152.104.208 (talk) 19:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
