Its time to tap into the deep knowledge base of AH.

I have come across a bunch of old pistol ammo and since I know very little about them, I’m hoping some of you AH’ers will be able to shed some light on the calibers in question and possibly a timeline when they mayhave been common.

The short stubby one in the middle with the pin on it is a .45 pin fire. The one to the left of it is a .41 Long Colt.

I'm sure that there is a .45 Long Colt along with .45 ACP in there also along with a couple of rim fire rounds, perhaps a .32 rim fire.
 
L to R:
1. .32 S&W short made by Remington/ Union metalic Cartridge
2. 7,65 aka .32 ACP made by Hirtenberg
3. 9mm Parabellum blank made by PMP in South Africa
4. Seems to be a Tokarev 7,62x25
5. .41 Long Colt
6. Judging by the size in relation to the 9mmP it is 12mm pinfire revolver cartridge
7. No idea. Size of .455 Webley but not the rim
8. .38 Rimfire revolver
9. .38 S&W or .380 rimmed
10. Another .38 Rimfire
11. Seems somewhat bigger than a .22 Magnum. My guess would be .25 Stevens Rimfire.

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
