The ECS steel cased ammo was made by Chrysler in Evansville, Indiana. There was a book written about it, titled "Bullets by the Billion," which I have in my collection.
I just looked through my .45 ammo collection, and I have some of the ECS steel cased ammo, and I have a box of 1942 dated Remington brass cased, but I don't have steel cased Remington from 1944. What information is being sought? I might have other resources to review. I also recommend the IAA Forum. (International Ammunition Association) It never ceases to amaze me how much of a depth of ammunition knowledge exists among its members. David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com |

I found a R A 43 headstamp on steel case that was zinc plated. The next question would be how many of the steel cases were made per year in that time frame.

I had a look at the few steel cases .45ACP I have: No Remington at all but : E C 42 E C 42 (one being brass plated) E C 43 E C S 43 E C 4 (small markings) E C 4 (larger markings) All must come from resistance so have been airdropped. I did not check out my brass one but as far as I remember I have Remington among others.
