Description

This lot consists of a verified collection of 200 rounds of 9mm Luger centerfire pistol ammunition, distributed across four vintage cardboard boxes. Each box contains 50 cartridges featuring brass cases and copper-colored full metal jacket (FMJ) projectiles. The cartridges are loaded with 124 grain ball bullets, a standard military and target weight for the 9x19mm Parabellum caliber. The packaging is characterized by its distinctive red color and stylized gold-colored star graphic with horizontal lines, a design consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century commercial or military-style contract ammunition packaging. The front of each box is prominently marked 50 CENTERFIRE CARTRIDGES and 9MM AMMUNITION, while the end flaps are stamped 9MM 50 CARTRIDGES 124 GR. BALL. Visible cartridge headstamps bear markings including 9X19, 6IX6, and 93, which suggest a 1993 production date code, though the specific manufacturer is not explicitly identified on the external packaging. The interior plastic or cardboard trays hold the individual rounds in an organized grid. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition with the brass cases exhibiting a natural aged patina and minor surface tarnish. The copper jackets on the projectiles show no significant oxidation or corrosion. The four red cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear typical of age, including scuffing to the printed surfaces, fraying at the edges and corners, and some light creasing. One box has a small area of surface paper loss on the upper left front where a previous label or tape may have been removed. The structural integrity of the boxes remains sound.
