Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1126:
Description
This lot features a single bulk value pack of Federal Champion brand 22 Long Rifle rimfire ammunition. The packaging consists of a folding cardboard carton with a black and red central field and blue graphic side panels depicting loose cartridges. The front panel clearly displays the Federal brand name and a stylized circular swoosh logo, above the word CHAMPION in a white semi-circular field. According to the printed specifications on the side panel, the box originally contained 525 rounds of high-velocity ammunition. The projectiles are identified as 36-grain copper-plated hollow point bullets. The side panel also features the manufacturer’s slogan Every Shot Counts. The box design is consistent with late 20th to early 21st-century production for the Champion Training line.
Condition report:
The exterior packaging shows significant signs of wear consistent with long-term storage and handling. Visible defects include heavy creasing and surface scuffing across the front and side panels (photo 1). There is noticeable edge fraying, corner crushing, and small tears to the top and bottom cardboard flaps (photo 2). A small area of surface paper loss, possibly from a removed price tag, is visible on the white specification panel (photo 2). The box appears to have been opened, and the structural integrity is compromised by multiple folds and soft corners.
