Condition report:

The ammunition appears in varied condition, with most rounds appearing live. The metallic casings show varying degrees of surface oxidation, tarnish, and wear to the finishes, particularly evident on the older brass examples. The nickel-plated cases generally retain a brighter appearance but show some handling marks and minor scuffs. Several primers show light flattening or discoloration consistent with storage. The clear adhesive tape has yellowed and shows significant wear and tearing but continues to secure the cartridges within the plastic tray. The tray itself appears intact without major cracks or damage.
