Hi Daryl
To sum things up regarding pin fire in the last thirty years I have only seen two vintage pin fire cartridges both Brass and paper I have never seen any all brass versions, this is a pointer to how low in popularity pin fire truly was here in Britland.
Though I will say I wish I did know then what I know now because I purchased the gun at a Farm sale in the late 1960s included in the lot where two boxes of Rosson pin fire cartridges one of the boxes I sold and the other I tried shooting pigeon with. The impetuousness of youth is my excuse looking back the value of that vintage box of cartridges would probably purchase a couple of thousand or even more today, they do say youth is wasted on the young.
Also included with the gun was a box containing some hand pin fire reloading tools and a very nice Ebony cleaning rod, I will have a look through the vast number of boxes stored in my workshop to see if I can find them and post some pictures.
