Description

This lot consists of two original boxes of Geco .38 Special ammunition, totaling a verified quantity of 100 centerfire cartridges. Each box contains 50 rounds featuring 158 grain (10.2 g) full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets seated in brass cases. The packaging is marked with the “Geco” circular logo, caliber designation, and technical specifications in multiple languages, including German “Vollmantel” and Spanish “Blindado.” The boxes also feature an “IPSC Minor Factor” logo, indicating this loading is designed to meet specific power factor requirements for competitive shooting sports. The cartridges feature visible headstamps marked “GECO 38 SPECIAL.” The ammunition appears consistent with late 20th-century European manufacture. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in very good, shootable condition with bright brass cases and copper-colored jacketed projectiles; no significant corrosion or heavy oxidation is noted on the visible rounds. The cardboard boxes show signs of shelf wear and age, including scuffing, creased edges, and minor tearing at the corner flaps.
