Condition report:
The cardboard boxes show age-related wear consistent with vintage storage, including corner fraying, surface staining, and edge scuffing. The green Remington automatic box exhibits more significant structural wear, including splitting and tearing along the lid edges. The brass casings show varying degrees of surface tarnishing and mild oxidation. The lead bullets in the Peters and Remington automatic boxes show white powdery oxidation on the surfaces. The primed shells appear to have unfired primers in good physical condition. We have not function-tested this ammunition.
