Very nice post Ed. I had not seen the 38 Special super speed loading in the "1932 style" box before other than on page 284 of Ray's book. A very nice find. My guess is that this loading was superseeded by the super speed loading in the "1939" style box you show at the top.
I also like the metal piercing loading in the "1935 style" box. The lack of Winchester reference on the head stamp on these rounds is interesting. I wonder if Western also produced this loading using the same head stamp during this time. Conversely. I wonder if Winchester produced a version of the metal piercing 357 loading during this period using the same Western head stamp as shown for western earlier on this thread.
I'm not sure as to the "38 S&W Special HI-Velocity reference either. Peters produced a Rustless 38 Special High Velocity loading during this time but I'm not familiar with a "HI-Velocity" Loading by Winchester or any other maker. Maybe somebody can shed some light on this question.
