Abstract
A fired cartridge case collector includes a base having a collection post. The collection post of the base is configured to collect and suspend a fired cartridge case without causing contact to an exterior surface of the fired cartridge case. The fired cartridge case collector also includes a protective envelope having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end of the protective envelope is configured to be removably secured to the base. The protective envelope is configured to prevent contact between an interior surface of the protective envelope and the exterior surface of the fired cartridge case while the protective envelope is removably secured to the base. The fired cartridge case collector permits individual collection, packaging, and non-contact storage of fired gun cartridge cases thereby preserving any DNA or other evidence that may be present.
