Mr. Eaglesham alledges that .222 shell casings with a headstamp with dot (or short dash) between the R and P could not have been manufactured in 1963. This allegation is not proven and in fact I have been shown Remington headstamps with a dot/short dash from that time. Like these:

and these:

This ammunition was bought with two fireballs from 1963:

and the ammo was wrapped in this paper dated 1963:

I have conceded to Eaglesham that the headstamp itself does not determine that the casing is from before 1963, but this was an assertion from Bob Vernon, now Eaglesham's friend and partner in a revengeful campaign against me and James Files, whom Vernon has promoted as the absolute truth for over decade.
However, Vernon was just sooo pissed he wasn't able to squeeze that last bit of money out of me. If this piece of shit is suddenly so convinced that Jemas Files is a hoax, why did he still want 100.000 USD more for it, after he had already sollicited much more money from his partners?
Therefore I have emailed Eaglesham:
Mr. Eaglesham,
You have only discovered another flaw in the research of Bob Vernon, your
newly found buddy and B-actor:

I guess I should thank you for that.
As was already shown with various pictures and other evidence from
cartridge collectors, some of which research is still ongoing, the dashes
and dots have both been used on Remington headstamps from the early sixties
onwards. As a matter of fact, even the long dash was still made in recent
years. In addition several OEM manufacturers have been producing ammunition
for Remington.

As to your suggestions:
********
Mr. Dankbaar:
I have two suggestions for your consideration:
-- Place a link to
http://www.manuscriptservice.com/Headstamp in a prominent
place on jfk.murdersolved.com, invite your visitors to appraise themselves
of this relevant new information and remove your statement: "The .222 casing
was manufactured before 1971, as could be determined by the headstamp."
-- Offer money back to those who have bought the book and the DVD, if they
wish to return them to you.
Allan Eaglesham

I shall remove Vernon's heritage statement "The .222 casing was manufactured
before 1971, as could be determined by the headstamp." from the website.
As to your second suggestion, it would really be in vain, for I have never
encountered a customer who regretted his purchase. Quite the contrary. Maybe
YOU are the only exception? Sales are rising steadily. I'd be happy to
reimburse you on return of your disk. Or maybe you want it replaced by a
copy of Spooks, Hoods & The Hidden Elite, which unfortunalely corroborates
the presence of James Files' boss, Charles Nicoletti, in Dallas.

I have meanwhile looked back in my email archives and found some email exchanges about the dot / dash issue with both Vernon and Remington, back in 2003. An email exchange that I started, not Vernon.
Will post these soon, here's one to start:

OK Sherlock Holmes.....
Explain to me how one expert says the dot is before 1971 and the other
expert says it is after.....
Also one expert says:
so there is no way to identify when the item
was manufactured unless you know the ammunition lot number.
