Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1360:
Description
This lot consists of approximately 177 rounds of Winchester .45 Auto centerfire pistol ammunition. The cartridges are loaded with 230-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) projectiles and brass casings featuring a copper-plated or jacketed round-nose profile. The ammunition is housed in two original white Winchester cardboard boxes. Each box is styled with the Winchester manufacturer logo and bold black lettering specifying the caliber and bullet weight. The packaging includes bilingual English and French safety warnings and is prominently marked “Not labeled for individual sale.” One box is open to reveal loose-packed cartridges. Key markings include the manufacturer name “WINCHESTER” and “45 AUTO” stamped on the headstamps in a circular pattern around the primer. These boxes exhibit minor shelf wear consistent with handling, including slight creasing, scuffing, and small tears to the cardboard flaps.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears in good, clean condition with brass casings showing minimal tarnish and jacketed projectiles appearing factory-seated. The cardboard boxes show signs of light storage wear, including edge softening and minor creasing on the flaps, but remain intact and legible. The primers are in place and unused; however, mechanical function and long-term reliability have not been independently tested.
