Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1175:
Description
This lot consists of Winchester Large Pistol (WLP) primers designed for use in both standard and magnum pistol loads. These primers are versatile reloading components, often favored for their reliability across various handgun calibers requiring large pistol primers. The primers are housed in black plastic grid trays and accompanied by their original blue, red, and gold Winchester cardboard packaging. The outer sleeve features the iconic Winchester horse and rider logo and includes bilingual safety warnings in English and French. Markings on the packaging include “WINCHESTER Primers,” “LARGE PISTOL FOR STANDARD OR MAGNUM PISTOL LOADS,” and the “WLP” product code. The primers themselves exhibit a dark, tarnished brass finish, which is common with older production lots or exposure to environmental moisture during storage. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The primers show significant surface tarnish and a dark patina, consistent with age or storage in a humid environment. They appear to be live and unspent. The black plastic trays remain intact. The cardboard outer sleeves show minor shelf wear, light scuffing, and some crushing at the corners, but the graphics and text remain clearly legible.
