Condition report:
The two-piece cardboard box shows significant signs of age and handling, including heavy shelf wear, staining, and label loss on the sides and bottom. The internal tray shows some fraying at the edges and age-related darkening. The 47 cartridges exhibit lead oxidation on the bullets and a dark patina on the brass cases, though they appear to be in live, unspent condition. The lot is three rounds short of a full box capacity.
