Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 190:
Description
This lot consists of 100 rounds of .45 Auto ammunition featuring copper-jacketed hollow point projectiles seated in brass casings. The cartridges are presented in two red plastic MTM Case-Gard flip-top storage boxes, each configured with a fifty-round grid. Visual inspection of the headstamps identifies components from two major manufacturers, with markings transcribed verbatim as W-W .45 AUTO for Winchester-Western and R-P .45 AUTO for Remington-Peters. The projectiles are primarily jacketed hollow point designs, with variation in the specific cavity profile visible across the lot. The ammunition is organized vertically within the trays, and each box contains white paper inventory labels stored inside the lid. The lot is composed of modern centerfire cartridges suitable for use in firearms chambered for the .45 Auto caliber.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in good overall condition with the brass casings exhibiting varying degrees of surface tarnish and light oxidation consistent with age. The copper-jacketed projectiles appear stable, showing minor dulling of the finish but no significant corrosion. The red plastic storage boxes are well-preserved with functional hinges and secure latches. While the cartridges appear live and intact, they have not been function-tested.
