What's this headstamp?

Got a bunch of these from the range. Looks a bit like Browning's mark. Any good?

You should put that one away for your collection.

Hahaha, that's funny. The only Browning brass I have is black nickel plated. Otherwise, I'd never have recognized the logo. I don't blame Grendel for asking

The Browning Buckmark fools a lot of people, since they look at it at the wrong angle.  I've been getting a lot of it in .45 acp and other calibers from the brass I buy from our club.

Hope this helps.

I recently found some and was going to ask about it. Even took a pic, then promptly forgot. I was guessing it was from the Middle East. Another quarter turn and I might of figured it out.  :P

You are missing the point.  Is it good brass?

Thanks!
