The internal contents are in very good to excellent condition. The individual cardboard boxes remain intact with only minor shelf wear and light soiling. The cartridges themselves appear well-preserved, exhibiting bright brass casings and clean copper jackets without signs of corrosion, verdigris, or damage. The ammunition appears to be live and functional.
