Lot 1066:
Description
This lot consists of 173 rounds of .45 ACP (.45 Auto) ammunition, primarily loose cartridges housed in two plastic storage boxes. The collection features a diverse array of manufacturers and origins as evidenced by the headstamps, which include verbatim transcriptions such as REM-UMC 45 ACP, FEDERAL 45 AUTO, WESTERN 45 AUTO, and W.R.A. CO. 45 A.C. Military and arsenal markings are also present, including EC 43 (Evansville-Chrysler), FA 3 1 (Frankford Arsenal), WCC 43 (Western Cartridge Company), RA 42 (Remington Arms), TZ 91 (Israeli Military Industries), and 60A 59. The ammunition is comprised of both brass and nickel-plated cases, loaded with predominantly copper-jacketed full metal jacket bullets, though some lead round nose projectiles are included. The rounds are organized within a green plastic box containing 77 rounds and a translucent yellow box containing 96 rounds.
Condition report:
The overall condition of the ammunition is varied, with a significant number of rounds exhibiting surface oxidation, green verdigris, and rust on the cases and primers. While some cartridges remain relatively clean, the presence of heavy corrosion on others suggests long-term storage in a humid environment. The ammunition appears to be live, but the mechanical reliability is not guaranteed due to the visible degradation of the components.
