Lot 391:
Description
This lot consists of 80 rounds of .32 Winchester Special centerfire rifle ammunition, divided among four boxes. The collection includes sixty rounds of Federal Power-Shok featuring 170-grain jacketed soft point flat nose projectiles and twenty rounds of Remington High Velocity utilizing 170-grain Core-Lokt soft point projectiles. The Federal ammunition is contained within three 20-round boxes, with rounds held in white plastic factory trays. The Remington ammunition is contained in a single 20-round box with a black plastic tray. Verbatim markings on the Federal packaging include 32 WIN SPL, POWER-SHOK, JACKETED SOFT POINT FN, and 170 GRAIN, while the headstamps are marked F C 32 WIN SPL. The Remington box is marked High Velocity, 32 WIN SPECIAL, and 170 GR. CORE-LOKT SOFT PT., with headstamps reading R-P 32 WIN SPL. The brass casings and lead-tipped projectiles are well-maintained for their age, and the set represents standard 170-grain configurations for this classic lever-action rifle caliber.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition. The brass casings show minor surface tarnish and light handling marks but no significant corrosion. The lead tips of the projectiles exhibit slight oxidation consistent with long-term storage. The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including scuffing, edge fraying, and some corner dings. The Remington box has visible adhesive residue and surface tearing from a removed label. Trays are intact and functional.
