I was planning to buy a Vergueiro rifle but the seller of one that I posted about over here accepted my offer and thend ecided not to sell.

However, in the meantime, I found a box of mint 6.5mm Kynoch Portuguese Mauser sporting ammo and I am hoping to start collecting cartridges from this very humble beginning.

I have, on order, 8x57JS sporting ammunition from five different European manufacturers in original paper boxes and hope to buy more.

As I have not done this before, I would request the experienced members here, when you have time, to please post some tips / hints about collecting cartridges. These would help beginners like me just like your experience helps as far as buying guns is concerned.

Thanks in advance and happy collecting!
