Lot 31:
Description
This lot consists of thirty rounds of Nobel Sport Italia (NSI) 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, presented in three original boxes containing ten rounds each. These 2 3/4-inch (70mm) shells are designated as a low-recoil load, featuring nine pellets of 00 buckshot (11/0 BK) and a plastic wad, with a factory-specified muzzle velocity of 1200 fps (366 m/s). The cartridges utilize translucent blue plastic hulls that allow for visual inspection of the contents, paired with silver-colored metal heads. Verbatim markings on the exterior packaging include NSI NOBELSPORTITALIA, 12 CALIBRO GAUGE, 70 BOSSOLO mm 2 3/4″ SHELL, BORRA PLASTICA PLASTIC WAD, 11/0 00BK, 9 PALLETTONI PELLETS, Buckshot 9P, and SG/LG 366 m/s – 1200 fps LOW RECOIL. Each shell is printed with identifying information including NSI NOBELSPORTITALIA, LOW RECOIL, BUCKSHOT, 00 BUCK, 9 PELLETS, 1200 FPS, and 2 3/4″. This ammunition is intended for law enforcement, home defense, or sporting applications where consistent performance and reduced felt recoil are required.
Condition report:
The ammunition and packaging are in good overall condition. The shells appear live and functional, with the translucent hulls remaining clear and the silver-colored metal heads free of significant corrosion or oxidation. Printed text on the individual hulls is sharp and legible. The original cardboard boxes exhibit minor shelf wear consistent with storage and handling, including scuffing to the yellow and gray surfaces, light edge fraying, and minor compression at the corners, but they remain intact and provide secure storage for the contents.
