Paper Shotgun Cartridges

[Surrey Yeoman]

Anyone out there collect the old fashioned paper tubed shotgun cartridges?

I've picked up three of them, all 12 bore, two marked Jeffrey's of Guildford and one marked Egham Gun Centre. All in good condition, inert having been fired, with the crimped ends folded down again. I tried to list them on Ebay as collector's items, but the ebay police pulled the listing.

I know nothing about them, but as Jeffrey's ceased trading a good 10 years ago, they must be fairly collectable.

Free to anyone who wants them as it seems a shame to bin them! I can email pictures if you like.

What possible harm is there in a few empty cases
Your going to need new primer caps, powder, wad's and shot not to mention the reloading machinery to make new rounds, and cases are easy to come by legally. When we were kids we got hundred's of cases from clay shoots with no bother (has that changed now-does possesion of an empty case make you a potential criminal???)
Ebay should look at those silly "samuria sword's" and "fantasy axe's" and consider pulling them they are potentially far more dangerous than an empty cartidge case
At one time I had hundred's of different types on a shelf in my room, english german polish italian etc I inherited a 9mm garden gun off my grandad to kill rats squirell's etc. When you fired it the paper part of the shell would emerge as a cloud of dust, just the copper rim would be left in the breech

just the copper rim would be left in my breeches

I've had that problem on occasion too! More careful use of the toilet paper usually stops it!

(I'll get my coat!)

I'd like them if your offering them, I have been looking for some but not having much luck.

Drop me a PM if they are available still.

A thousand apologies Mr D. No offence intended, just a feeble attempt at humour. I shall take myself outside and beat myself over the head with a wet lettuce!
