Condition report:
The cardboard boxes exhibit signs of age and storage, including edge scuffing, corner compression, and light surface staining. The ammunition appears to be in live, factory-loaded condition. A visual inspection of the shells reveals surface oxidation and tarnishing on the brass bases, while the black plastic hulls remain intact and free of cracks or splits.
