Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 1018:
Description
This lot consists of 100 rounds of .44 S&W Special ammunition featuring nickel-plated cases and black-coated projectiles. Based on the specific combination of components and appearance, these cartridges are attributed to Underwood and likely represent a 190 or 200 grain hard-cast semi-wadcutter load. The ammunition utilizes rimmed nickel-plated brass cases intended for reliable extraction. Verbatim headstamp markings include the caliber designation 44 S&W SPL and the Starline Brass manufacturer symbol consisting of two stars connected by a central horizontal dash. The primers are brass-colored and appear to be in their original, unfired condition. The ammunition is loose and presented in a clean, well-preserved state suitable for use in firearms chambered for .44 Special or .44 Magnum.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in excellent overall condition with no visible signs of corrosion or significant wear. The nickel plating on the brass cases remains bright and free of oxidation or deep scratching. The black coating on the projectiles is uniform and shows no signs of flaking. The primers are unmarred and appear to be live, factory-loaded rounds.
