Description

This lot consists of a 1000 count quantity of Federal No. 150 Large Pistol Primers, designed for use in reloading various large caliber handgun cartridges. The components are contained within their original red cardboard packaging, which features a prominent yellow and black diagonal stripe. Markings on the exterior of the box include FEDERAL, NO. 150, and 1000 LARGE PISTOL PRIMERS, accompanied by a standard safety warning regarding percussion and heat. Also included is an inner sleeve for 100 primers with matching branding, which has the handwritten notations 1419C and 125 in red ink. A single black plastic tray is shown containing 100 primers with a clean metallic finish, some oriented to show the internal anvil. These components are intended for standard reloading applications and appear to be in their original factory configuration.


Condition report:

The outer cardboard packaging shows significant shelf wear, characterized by scuffing and paper loss along the edges and corners. The inner sleeve displays moderate wear and the aforementioned handwriting. The primers appear to be in good, usable condition with no evidence of corrosion or degradation, and they appear to be live and unfired. We have not functionally tested these components.
