Condition report:
The two-piece cardboard box shows significant signs of age and handling, including heavy scuffing, edge wear, and substantial loss to the black textured paper covering on the top and sides. The labels show typical yellowing and light staining but remain entirely legible. The ammunition exhibits age-related oxidation, with tarnishing present on the copper cases and white lead bloom or oxidation visible on the lead bullet tips. The cartridges appear to be live, original rounds.
