These pictures are quite large and may take you 56Kers awhile to get through them. I'm sorry to hotlink them, but consider it motivation to get yourselves broadband!
I took some pictures of .40S&W and .45ACP brass. The .40S&Ws are from my Walther P99, they've all got the same unique firing pin mark which is clearly visible on all three shells. However that may only be indicative of the model of gun, not any firearm-specific markings. You'd need to see another P99's brass as a control. Striations are visible but differ significantly from shell to shell. All 3 are quite different, yet all come from the same gun. No modifications have been made to the gun before, during, or after any of the 3 shells were fired.
The .45s are from my 1911, and those marks seem fairly bland and are not unique. One is circular, the other is slightly oblong, so even the general shapes aren't consistent from shell to shell. There are no visible striations at all.
However, while handling the brass, I did think to take pictures of the extractor and ejector marks. Interestingly, these were in fact unique, and striations are visible (at least on the .40S&W). With more magnification, it may be possible to differentiate. The .40S&Ws had marks under the lip of each shell, where the long extractor claw's tip gouged and raked the brass. The .45s however are once again bland. I noticed that there were no ejector indentations on the .40S&W rounds, and no extractor markings on the .45 rounds. Because the .45 rounds marks are from a straight-on impact with the ejector rather than the extractor, there are no readily visible striations. But there is a unique indentation on the right 1/4 of each ejector mark, and there are actually tiny horizontal striations in that mark!
