G'Day Fella's,

FYI Marrakai, a couple of mates of mine (DD and GP) and myself (we were all shooting IPSC at the time, so we were all effected by the changes in these new handgun laws), were the ones that came up with the .38 JWH concept.
Over a few coffee's at GP's shop in Fyshwick, over a coupla weeks, at the time, the idea came up.
It went thru a few name changes (as an example- .38 FJWH, etc, etc), before we settled on the final title.

"DD" did all of the foot work after that.
He was employed within the local firearms industry at the time, and had the contacts, both here and in the US, to bring this project to fruition.

iirc, "DD" spoke with Kings Gun Works (in the USA), who subsequently supplied both the 1911, 9mm barrel blanks, and possibly the reloading die sets.
And yes, Starline, did make a run of .38 JWH cases.
These were all available at the time, thru Granite Arms, up until the owner (Mr Garnet Featherstone), passed away, and Granite Arms was no more.

I do remember, Western Sydney Gunsmith (out Picton way), Mr Barry Cockinos was kept busy, converting 1911's in .45 ACP, and or chambering the Kings, 9mm 1911 barrels, to .38 JWH, at the time.
Barry ........ may have also been making reloading dies as well?

Thats about it for the moment Marrakai, I will have a bit more of a think, and see what other info I can come up with.

FYI Marrakia, check out my profile and send me an email.
I will send you some images, relating to the .38 JWH.

Regards and FJWH!
Homer
