This restored reprint of the 1888 Union Metallic Cartridge Company (UMC) catalog was originally published by Hartley & Graham and features content in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge Company) was founded around 1867 and became a major American ammunition maker.

Hartley & Graham (Schuyler, Hartley & Graham) was a major sporting goods and arms distributor/publisher that often issued ammunition catalogs.

UMC was later merged with Remington (in 1912), but in 1888 it was still independent, producing cartridges under its own brand.

Catalog highlights include:

• Center-fire and rim-fire cartridges for Model Union Metallic, Ballard, and Marlin–Spencer rifles
• Bulldog-type pistol rounds, Colt Conical and United Pistol calibers
• Military and police ammunition: Gatling, Peabody, Berdan & Bullard, Government loads
• International calibers: Spanish, Danish, Romanian, Russian gallery cartridges
• Blanks, dummy rounds, and specialty loads
• Accessories like cartridge clips, primers, loading tools, and ballistics data

Best suited for:

• Ammunition collectors and historians exploring late-19th-century cartridge innovations
• Reloaders researching original period load data and cartridge types
• Gunsmiths seeking technical reference for UMC-era ammunition
• Enthusiasts building reference libraries of vintage ammo catalogs and global cartridge offerings
