Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1355:
Description
This lot features a total of 1,000 Winchester Large Pistol Primers (WLP) designed for use in both standard and magnum pistol loads. These non-corrosive primers are packaged in the recognizable blue and yellow Winchester cardboard boxes featuring the company horse-and-rider logo. The primers are organized within plastic storage sleeves, with each sleeve containing a 100-count grid of brass-colored primer cups. Markings on the outer packaging include the Winchester brand name, “Primers,” “LARGE PISTOL FOR STANDARD OR MAGNUM PISTOL LOADS,” and the “WLP” product designation. Safety warnings are present in both English and French. These components are intended for use by those engaged in the handloading of centerfire ammunition.
Condition report:
The primers and packaging are in good overall condition. The cardboard box shows light shelf wear, minor edge scuffing, and some surface fading consistent with age and storage. The brass primer cups exhibit scattered areas of minor surface tarnish and light oxidation, though they appear physically intact. All packaging appears original, and the primer count is confirmed at 1,000 units.
