Gents: I would like to send a sample of ammunition used in the firearms of Martin and Osa Johnson to their Safari museum in Chanute, Kansas. I don't have any of the cartridges. The museum would prefer not to have loaded ammo or live primers as many small kids visit the museum as well as traveling displays. I would like to find a fired brass case, with no primer (or fired primer) and one bullet in the following calibers: double rifle: 470 magazine rifle: 505, 303, 275 lever rifle: 32Special, 405, 30-30 revolvers: 38 colt They also used a .45 Colt and 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, but I can get those here. Can any of you gentlemen spare a single round and bullet for a good cause? My post address is: Cal Pappas HC 89 Box 397 Willow Alaska 99688 Thanks for your consideration.

Cal, I can do the .505 Gibbs, .470 NE, .405 Win, .30-30 and .303. Do they want unprimed dummies or brass and bullets separate? Note was not clear. Mike | |||

Mike, thanks. Unprimed dummies would be great! I was planning to glue the bullet in place but dummies would work fine. Thanks again.

I can do the .275 too but it will be headstamped 7x57 not .275. Just let me know. Mike | |||

Cal, I'm in DC now but and pretty sure I've got a box of 38 Colt (might be 32, but think it's 38) at home. I'll be back in a few days and will let you know if I can empty one and reassemble.

My hat is off to all of you that are helping out on this. The museum isn't very big but it does contain a unique piece of african history. Chanute isn't the easiest place to get to, but if you ever find yourself in the Wichita, Tulsa, Kansas City area, it would make a neat side trip. | |||

Mike: The 7mmis fine. Rob: Ring me when you return. Also, stop by the Wasilla gun show on the 21-2nd. I'll have a table on the main floor with a few doubles and a bolt Cogswell for sale. Thanks to both of you.
