Gun Collectors Dream Auction #86 Collector Auction
Lot 1387:
Description
This lot consists of a collection totaling 83 rounds of .32-20 Winchester centerfire ammunition and 24 empty brass casings. The ammunition is a varied assortment of .32 W.C.F. cartridges featuring a mix of lead flat-nose and jacketed soft-point bullets. The items are presented in two plastic storage cases, including one smoke-gray box embossed with the Midway brand name and one translucent box. Verbatim headstamp markings on the brass include REM-UMC .32 W.C.F., W-W .32-20 WIN, W.R.A. CO. .32 W.C.F., PETERS .32-20, R-P .32-20 WIN, and WESTERN .32-20 WIN. The diverse range of manufacturers, varied primer types, and the presence of red sealant indicates this is a mixed collection of various production runs and potentially hand-loaded cartridges.
Condition report:
The ammunition and brass show varying degrees of age-related wear, including significant tarnishing and surface oxidation on the brass casings. Several of the lead bullets exhibit white oxidation, commonly referred to as lead bloom. The two plastic storage boxes show light scuffing and minor wear consistent with storage and transport. The ammunition is sold as-is for component or collectible value.
