Gun Collectors Dream Auction #81 January 31st & Feb 1st
Lot 214:
Sold for: $80
Description
A collection of 60 rounds of vintage centerfire rifle ammunition in .270 Winchester caliber, offered in original packaging and loose. The lot includes three boxes of vintage commercial ammunition and loose cartridges, totaling 60 rounds as verified by the inventory count. The packaging consists of two boxes of Winchester Super Speed Silvertip and one box of Remington Express Core-Lokt Centerfire Rifle Cartridges. One Winchester box is clearly marked "20 CENTER FIRE CARTRIDGES" in .270 Winchester caliber. The loose cartridges are brass-cased and feature the distinctive Silvertip bullet style. Headstamps visible on the cartridges include Winchester Super Speed .270 WIN, Remington .270 WIN, and Peters .270 WIN, indicating a mixed lot of vintage production ammunition suitable for collectors.
Condition: The cardboard packaging exhibits significant aging, scuffing, edge wear, and discoloration consistent with long-term storage and handling. The ammunition itself appears to be live, vintage stock. The brass casings show minor patina and surface oxidation but are generally in good condition with clear headstamps. The bullets retain their original silver/copper tips. We have not function-tested this ammunition, and it is sold strictly as a collector’s item due to its age and uncertain provenance. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws regarding the purchase and possession of ammunition.
