Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 268:
Description
This lot comprises a verified total of 100 rounds of Sterling Exclusive Series .410 bore birdshot ammunition, professionally housed in four individual 25-round cardboard boxes. These cartridges feature 2 1/2-inch (65mm) red plastic ribbed hulls with low-brass heads and are loaded with 3/8 oz of #8 lead shot. Visible cartridge markings include the Sterling crown logo, the manufacturer name “STERLING,” shot size “No: 8,” and length “65 mm” printed in black ink on the hulls. The packaging features the brand’s distinctive red and yellow color scheme with a prominent crown logo and stylized white lettering. The technical specifications listed on the boxes confirm the 10 gram load and the European “36 Gauge” designation, which is the international equivalent to the American .410 bore.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears in good overall condition with the cartridges appearing live and ready for use. Some light surface scuffs and dark residue marks are visible on the red plastic hulls and brass heads, consistent with factory handling and storage. The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including blunted corners, edge fraying, and minor staining on the interior flaps.
