Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1085:
Description
This lot contains a verified quantity of 1,000 Winchester WLP Large Pistol Primers for reloading standard or magnum pistol loads. These primers are housed in their original blue commercial packaging, which features the iconic Winchester cowboy on horseback logo. Each individual box within the lot is designed to hold a tray of 100 primers, as seen in the visible black plastic grid tray. The packaging bears the Winchester trade name and is marked “WLP” to designate the specific primer type. Extensive safety warnings in both English and French are printed on the exterior cardboard, identifying the contents as highly explosive and advising to keep them out of reach of children. The primers themselves exhibit a brass finish. These components are essential for handloading a wide variety of large pistol cartridges.
Condition report:
The primers appear to be in good, live condition, though some examples show surface oxidation and darkening of the brass finish consistent with age. The exterior cardboard packaging shows typical edge and corner wear with light scuffing. The plastic internal tray is intact without visible cracks.
