The ammunition is marked RIO ROYAL BUCK and 12/70 – 2 3/4 21 P on the hulls. These shells utilize high-brass colored heads and are housed in black and gold cardboard boxes printed in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Italian. The packaging bears the manufacturer’s established quality and perfection logo. Note – All ammunition purchases may be subject to regional shipping restrictions and age verification requirements.


Condition report:

The ammunition and packaging show significant signs of improper storage and environmental exposure. The brass-colored metal heads of the shotgun shells exhibit varying degrees of heavy surface rust, oxidation, and corrosion. The cardboard boxes show prominent water staining, structural softening, tearing, and shelf wear, with several boxes missing portions of the exterior paper layer. While the cartridges appear to be live, the presence of corrosion on the metal components may affect chambering or extraction; mechanical function has not been tested.
