Condition report:
The cardboard boxes exhibit moderate age-related wear, including surface staining, edge fraying, and small tears consistent with long-term storage. The nickel-plated and brass casings show varying degrees of tarnish and light oxidation. The loose ammunition in the Western box displays lead oxidation on the projectiles and some verdigris on the brass cases. The collection contains a mix of spent casings and potentially live rounds; however, we have not function-tested this ammunition and its stability or safety cannot be guaranteed.
