The cardboard boxes show moderate to heavy age-related wear, characterized by edge fraying, surface scuffing, and minor corner crushing. Some boxes exhibit handwritten notations (specifically Pheasant in black marker) and vintage retail price stickers from Skaggs and Guns N Gear. The ammunition appears to be live and in good collectible condition, with yellow plastic hulls showing only light storage dust. The brass-colored metal heads display varying degrees of surface oxidation and mild patina.
