Abstract
Casework experience in the detection of GSR particles on samples from hands, hair and clothing is reported for the period of 6 years (1989-1 994). The overall ''success'' rate on the examined samples is about 10 %. Aspects of the sampling procedures, the number of particles detecte d per sample and problems of possible contamination are discussed.
