Condition report:
The ammunition is in good overall condition, with clean brass cases and no visible corrosion or oxidation. The cartridges appear to be live and factory-loaded. The packaging shows varying degrees of shelf wear consistent with age; the Fiocchi and Sellier and Bellot boxes are well-preserved, while the RWS box shows some edge wear and the Western box displays significant scuffing, minor tearing, and old adhesive tape repairs.
