Lot 1562:
Lot of 375 Mixed Caliber Spent Brass and Nickel Plated Ammunition Casings
Description
This lot comprises a verified quantity of 375 spent ammunition casings presented in a bulk configuration for reloading or scrap purposes. The collection features a diverse assortment of calibers and finishes, including both yellow brass and nickel-plated (silver-tone) cases. The majority of the lot consists of straight-walled pistol casings, though several bottlenecked rifle casings are present within the mix. Technical observations reveal a variety of headstamps; notably, one nickel-plated casing is marked A-B-B, while a brass example displays a red primer sealant. The casings exhibit varying degrees of oxidation, tarnish, and carbon fouling consistent with discharged ammunition. The lot includes a significant proportion of casings with structural damage such as crushed case mouths, severe denting, and split walls, alongside intact examples suitable for cleaning and resizing.
Condition report:
The casings are in varied spent condition. Surface finishes show widespread tarnishing, heavy carbon residue, and scattered oxidation. Structural integrity varies significantly across the lot; while many cases appear salvageable for reloading, a substantial number exhibit terminal damage including crushed mouths, deep creases, and longitudinal wall splits. All primers have been struck and are inert. These components are sold as-is for parts, reloading supplies, or scrap metal.
