Lot 1258:
Description
This lot features 200 rounds of centerfire handgun ammunition manufactured by Fiocchi. The collection is housed in four original 50-round cardboard boxes. The cartridges are 6,35 Browning, also known as .25 Auto or .25 ACP. Each cartridge is loaded with a 50-grain copper-plated full metal jacket (FMJ) projectile and features a brass case. The visible cartridge headstamps are marked G.F.L. 6,35, identifying the manufacturer as Giulio Fiocchi Lecco. The vintage-style red and white striped packaging includes the Fiocchi shield logo, which contains the stylized letters L and F in an alternating red and black field. The boxes are printed with Italian and English text including FIOCCHI, 6,35 BROWNING / 25 AUTO, PALLA BLINDATA FULL METAL JACKET, and COPPER PLATED.
Condition report:
The four original cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear consistent with age and storage. Visible defects include scuffing to the surfaces, softening and crushing of the corners and edges, and minor tearing to the end flaps (Photos 1 and 2). The internal plastic trays are present and appear intact (Photo 3). The brass casings and copper-plated projectiles show minor surface tarnishing but no significant corrosion or heavy oxidation visible in the photographs.
