THIS QUESTION IS A SOPHISTICATED FORM OF BEGGING WHERE IN THE QUESTIONER SOLICITS THE KNOWLEDGE BASED UPON EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER WITHOUT COMPENSATION. THIS IS A COMMON PRACTICE. COLLECTING WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE VALUE OF THE ITEMS COLLECTED IS A CONSTANT WASTE OF MONEY AND THE WAY IN WHICH THE "NEW GUYS" PAY THE WAY for the EXPERIENCED COLLECTORS. THIS REFERENCE IS THE ONLY AVAILABLE PHOTO PUBLICATION WHICH PROVIDES ACTUAL CASH SALE VALUES FOR THOUSANDS OF ITEMS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR ITEMS YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LOSER.

THE CREME DE LA CREME FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF COLLECTING. The Buttweiler Archive Collection Now On CD! For an 18 year period from 1983 through 1999, every serious cartridge collector in the U.S. and many worldwide waited with warm anticipation for the mailman to bring a large envelope marked “Robert T. Buttweiler LTD”. It was the golden age of cartridge collecting and RTB was the principal prospector. From “enfant terrible” to the presidency of the world’s greatest ammunition collecting association, no person has had more effect on the world of ammunition collecting that Robert T. Buttweiler. When I met RTB at the Chicago show in 1983 where he was obtaining consignment for his first auction and heard that he planned to make a living doing auction, I was not a believer. I was wrong. In a very short time he established a high benchmark for quality auctions, professional catalogue presentations, and a steady stream of previously unknown rarities of the world. For nearly two decades those fat RTB catalogues were the events of note. In 1999, RTB moved on to new interests and the ammunition collecting world would never be the same. NOW Buttweiler is back! All of the long out of print catalogues with their prices realized sheets are available to everyone on ONE CD !… thousands of rarities photographed, identified, estimated, and with prices realized. Twenty thousand plus cartridges for collectors! AND The Witzel index to the Buttweiler archive collection is included! That’s right. John Witzel, master indexer, provides a key to research which opens the entire archive to ready reference. (If you are a cartridge collector and do not have a computer: Get One!) There are more rare and valuable references to come on CD. JOHN WITZEL'S INDEX TURNS A PILE OF CATALOGUES INTO A QUICK REFERENCE TOOL. HE ALSO INDEXED OUR FIRST 20 AUCTIONS MAKING THE HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF VIDEO TAPES OF COLLECTOR AMMO AND EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE ITEMS INTO A READY REFERENCE.
