Description

This lot contains a 204 count of empty .45-70 Government mixed manufacturer brass casings intended for reloading. The collection is primarily composed of yellow brass, though at least one nickel-plated silver-colored casing is present. Headstamps include markings for R – P and .45-70 GOVT, indicating Remington-Peters, and HORNADY and .45-70 GOVT, identifying Hornady production. All casings are in fired condition, with some still containing spent primers that show firing pin indentations while others have been de-primed. This lot contains no live ammunition or projectiles.


Condition report:

The casings show typical signs of being fired, including surface tarnish, light oxidation, and minor handling dings. The brass appears structurally intact without visible splits or heavy corrosion. Some cases retain their spent primers with visible strikes, while others have open primer pockets. This lot consists of inert ammunition components.
