All boxes bear the signature Winchester orange label with black printed text and round illustrations. Verbatim markings include the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. name and signature on the top panels and manufacturer details on the side panels, which also indicate an original capacity of 20 rounds per box. Verified cartridge headstamps show markings for W.R.A. CO. .30 REM. and W.R.A. CO. .30 W.C.F. with the verified count for the collection being 94 rounds. Note – As an antique or black powder firearm, this item does not require a background check.
Condition report:
The five cardboard boxes exhibit significant age-related wear, including surface staining, edge scuffing, and minor paper losses to the labels, though the printing remains largely legible. The ammunition within shows a varied aged patina with visible tarnish and light oxidation on both the brass casings and the bullet surfaces consistent with century-old storage. Primers appear original and unfired, and the cartridges appear to be in live condition.
