Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 1348:
Description
This lot comprises 53 rounds of Prvi Partizan (PPU) Match Line ammunition chambered in .308 Winchester. The cartridges are loaded with 168 grain (10.9 g) Hollow Point Boat Tail (HP BT) projectiles, intended for precision and target shooting. The ammunition is packaged in three original cream and green factory boxes that display the manufacturer’s name and an orange marksman graphic. Key markings on the cartridge headstamps include the manufacturer’s Cyrillic initials П П У and the caliber designation 308 WIN. The brass casings are boxer-primed and reloadable, though several rounds show visible evidence of improper storage, including significant tarnishing and blue-green oxidation on the case bodies and around the primer pockets. The projectiles exhibit minor surface oxidation. The boxes show shelf wear, including frayed edges, creasing, and scuffing.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in fair condition, showing signs of age and exposure. The brass casings exhibit varying degrees of tarnishing, with several rounds displaying noticeable blue-green oxidation (verdigris) on the surface and around the primers. The hollow point boat tail projectiles show minor surface discoloration but appear structurally sound. The cardboard packaging shows moderate shelf wear with frayed corners, creases, and surface scuffing. We have not function-tested this ammunition; due to the visible corrosion, the rounds are sold as-is and may be better suited for components or reference rather than live fire.
