Crimp - means of closing the mouth end of a shell case
to secure the shot
Roll crimp - end of
case turned into roll
Pie crimp -means where
shell end is folded over and sealed, looks like cut pie.
Generally the roll-crimp is the older shell
in vintage shotshells and usually they were made before World War II.
Most shotshells today
are pie-crimp.
Plastic shotshells
started about 1960 in the USA and within a few years most ammunition
manufacturers made plastic shotshells not paper. Today there are very few
paper shotshells in production. The same is true of the all
brass shell.
Wanda
Cartridge vintage shotshell has a plastic seal crimp that is not
like any of the above shells.
