Lot 1382:
Group of Three Vintage Hunting Books and 150 Rounds of 9mm Ammunition
Description
This lot features a group of three vintage reference books and a collection of centerfire handgun ammunition. The literature includes Common Scents Strategies: Tricks of the Trade for Attracting Deer by Richard Combs, Big-Game Taxidermy: A Complete Guide to Deer, Antelope, and Elk by Todd Triplett (published by The Lyons Press), and Hunting Secrets of the Experts edited by Vlad Evanoff. The ammunition consists of three red cardboard boxes, each containing a verified count of 50 9mm cartridges, totaling 150 rounds. These cartridges are loaded with 124 grain round nose ball projectiles and feature brass casings. Visible headstamps include markings of 9X19 and date/factory codes of 93 or 03. The ammunition is housed in its period-appropriate packaging with star-pattern graphics. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The books show signs of age including yellowing of covers, corner bumps, and edge wear; the Evanoff book has visible staining on the upper right front cover. The taxidermy guide retains its original dust jacket. The ammunition boxes exhibit significant shelf wear, including surface abrasions, scuffing, and minor structural tearing at the corners. The brass cartridge cases appear bright with minimal oxidation, and the primers appear seated and intact. The ammunition is sold as-is for collector value; mechanical function and consistency have not been tested.
