S&B headstamp with markings?

[LeftyTSGC]

Can anyone identify this S&B .40 headstamp, curious because it has a crown or ring stamp and a single mark. Why is it different? Anyone else finding interesting brass at the range?

thanks,

Mmmmmmm?

That's the 'Florida Orange Growers' limited edition ammo they use on the invasive Asian Citrus Psyllid, I think?

Or maybe not???

Dang! RC you are amazing! Is there any question you cannot answer correctly? You must eat at Susie's Chili Parlor in El Dorado!

I always called them strawberries (some do have 2, one on either side)

Realistically, I think its a representation of a flaming bombshell, some have said that they used to code a year with the marks.

S&B likes to be different.
I love sorting the range brass I pick up.
S&B stamps their .380 brass as 9mm br
makes it fun when you have a whole bunch of 9mm brass mixed in.

9mm Br is for Browning short, another name for 380, 9x17, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz.
OK, now S&B is really different in stamping a 9mm case with 40 S&W as the poster shows in the picture.

I believe that is the designation of their "Q" loading. I have seen this discussed but no sure answer yet.

First off...That's a 40 cal. S&W S&B case. Not a 9mm. Next I believe that "ring" is a military mark and is a replica of a bomb.

Hmmm, must be an original loading for glocks
