Lot 1045:
Description
This lot comprises a collection of approximately 120 spent .270 Winchester brass casings presented in six vintage retail boxes with their respective plastic or cardboard internal carriers. The group features mixed headstamps including Federal Cartridge (F C 270 WIN), Winchester/Western (SUPER-X 270 WIN), and Hornady (HORNADY 270 WIN), organized within original commercial packaging. The retail boxes include three red Federal Hi-Power 20-round containers, one yellow and black Federal Premium 20-round box, one yellow Western Super-X Silvertip 20-round box, and one red and black Hornady Frontier Cartridges box. These casings are inert components intended for reloading or collection and show natural tarnish and patina consistent with fired brass. Note – As an ammunition component lot consisting only of empty casings, this item does not require a background check.
Condition report:
The brass cases are in spent condition, showing varying degrees of tarnish, darkening, and primer strikes. Some cases exhibit green oxidation or surface spots from handling and storage. The retail packaging shows significant signs of shelf wear, including frayed edges, soft corners, creasing, and areas of tearing, most notably on the Hornady and Federal Premium boxes. The internal plastic and cardboard carriers remain intact but show light wear.
