Mods please move if I got this wrong, thank you.
I didn't know where to ask this, so I went to the only sub forum about cases: have a batch of .45 acp cases with the head stamp *I* 45 auto. Never seen this head stamp before, seems to be nice brass, reloaded fine but just curious about the maker.

*I* is Independence. Made on the same line from the same brass as Federal and Speer.
