Condition report:
The cardboard box is in fair condition, showing visible edge wear, corner fraying, and a small tear on the right side of the front face. The paper labels exhibit light soiling and fading consistent with long-term storage. The ammunition shows significant white and yellow oxidation across the lead bullets, and the copper cases have developed a dark tarnish and surface patina. The box remains structurally intact. While the cartridges appear to be live, their ballistic performance and reliability have not been tested.
