You just beat me to it! Yes, the Geco company has a long and distinguished history. They may not have been well known in the US, but they have been making ammo for a very long time, and their products are considered very good.

The only blot on their history is not their fault, either. The cartrige cases found at the Kaytn Forest massacre, where Polish Officers were killed, were Geco branded. Many historians believe that this was done by the NKVD, however, and they used German ammunition to deceive the world opinion into believing that the Germans committed the executions.

This is certainly not the fault of the company that made the ammunition, though, but someone might bring it up, and to be truthful, it popped into my head when I read the above posts.

Best Regards, Les
