Lot 406:
Description
This lot consists of two 50-round boxes of .38 Special (+P) centerfire pistol ammunition, totaling 100 rounds. The first 50-round box is Winchester Super-X Personal Protection ammunition featuring 125-grain jacketed hollow point projectiles seated in nickel-plated brass cases. The end flap is marked with product code X38S7PH and the cartridges bear W-W 38 SPL +P headstamps. The second 50-round box is Federal Hi-Shok ammunition containing 158-grain lead semi-wadcutter hollow point (LSWCHP) projectiles in brass cases. The end flap for this box is marked NO. 38G. Both varieties are high-pressure +P loadings intended for personal defense applications in appropriately rated revolvers. The Winchester cartridges are organized in a white plastic tray while the Federal rounds are in a red plastic tray. The packaging displays period graphics and branding consistent with late 20th-century production. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, original condition. The Winchester nickel-plated cases remain bright with some light surface tarnish consistent with age. The Federal brass cases show a natural darkened patina. Lead projectiles exhibit typical oxidation. The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including frayed edges, light creasing, and minor staining, but remain structurally intact and legible. The ammunition appears live; however, mechanical function and ballistic performance have not been tested.
