Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 97:
Description
This lot consists of five boxes of Golden Tiger brand ammunition chambered in 7.62x39mm, providing a total of 100 cartridges. Each 20-round box contains 124-grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) projectiles with a lead core. The cartridges utilize lacquered steel cases and are factory-labeled as non-corrosive. Visual inspection of the ammunition reveals a distinctive purple sealant applied to the case mouth and the primer pocket, a feature typical of production from the Vympel plant in Russia, intended for environmental protection and long-term storage. The cardboard packaging is clearly marked with the manufacturer logo and specifications. Key markings transcribed from the boxes include Golden Tiger, 7.62×39 FMJBT, 124 GR, LEAD CORE, STEEL CASE, NON-CORROSIVE, and 20 CARTRIDGES.
Condition report:
The ammunition and original packaging are in very good condition. The cardboard boxes show only light shelf wear with no significant tearing or crushing. The cartridges appear to be in factory-new, live condition with consistent lacquering on the steel cases and no evidence of corrosion, rust, or oxidation. The purple sealant at the case mouths and primers is intact and uniform across the visible rounds.
