Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition. The brass casings show minor signs of surface oxidation and light tarnishing consistent with storage. The polymer tips and primers appear intact and undisturbed. The six cardboard retail boxes show typical shelf wear, including some softening and fraying at the corners, light surface scuffs, and adhesive residue from original retail pricing stickers. One box has been opened for inspection.
