Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1396:
Description
This lot consists of 100 rounds of .308 Winchester ammunition featuring brass casings and pointed copper-jacketed projectiles. The cartridges display varied surface characteristics, including visible heat-treating discoloration at the neck and shoulder area, consistent with factory annealing processes. The headstamps on the cartridges are marked with “78”, “38”, “F”, and a circled cross symbol. Green sealant is visible around the primer pockets. The ammunition is presented as a loose group of individual cartridges.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears in used but stable condition. The brass casings show scattered surface oxidation, tarnishing, and dark spotting across multiple rounds (photo 1). Some handling marks and minor scuffs are present on the casing bodies. The green primer sealant remains largely intact on the visible headstamps (photo 2).
