Description
This lot comprises four boxes of Sterling Exclusive Series .410 bore shotgun ammunition, containing a verified total of 100 rounds. These 2 1/2-inch shells are loaded with 3/8 oz of #8 lead birdshot, suitable for small game hunting or clay target shooting. The shells feature red ribbed plastic hulls with brass-plated steel bases and are marked in black ink with the Sterling crown logo, “STERLING,” “No: 8,” and “65 mm” length designations. The red cardboard packaging prominently displays the “Sterling Exclusive Series” branding along with technical specifications including “10 g”, “36 Gauge” (the European metric equivalent to .410), and the shot weight. Each box contains 25 individual shells. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in functional condition; however, the black ink markings on the plastic hulls show significant smearing and wear from handling or storage. The brass-colored bases show no major corrosion but do exhibit some light tarnish. The cardboard boxes are intact with some scuffing, edge wear, and minor denting to the corners. One box has been opened for inspection.
