Old Ammo

Calvin, the headstamp is 'ELDORADO / 50 SHARPS'. I collected for 35 years and gave it up. My WRA Co. collection had some gaps that cost many hundreds of dollars to fill. The last one I bought was a 40-60 Colt for $200.00. I sold them all and made a nice profit. I started back recently with shotshells. Specifically, Winchester, Remington, UMC, and Eley-Kynoch. Paper and all brass only. I kept the 50 Sharps for size comparison.

So, Richard, tell me about the #5 engraved 28 gauge solid rib pigeon grade. Was it an original factory engraved gun? How did you document it? How about the similar Model 42? How did you document that one? Were they Ulrich engraved guns or later?
