Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 443:
Description
This lot contains Aprox. 250 pieces of empty, once-fired mixed-caliber brass shell casings intended for reloading purposes. The collection is housed in a clear plastic storage bin and features a variety of cartridge types, including prominent bottlenecked rifle casings and straight-walled pistol or small rifle cartridges. Visible markings include headstamps from noted manufacturers such as Peters and Western, with many other markings present but obscured by the dense arrangement. The brass exhibits diverse natural patinas ranging from bright yellow to darkened oxidation, with some instances of carbon fouling around the case mouths. The primers on all visible examples appear to have been struck, and no live ammunition or loaded projectiles were observed during inspection. These casings serve as a source of reloadable material for shooting enthusiasts and handloaders.
Condition report:
The brass casings are in once-fired, uncleaned condition. Surfaces show a range of oxidation and soot residue consistent with range-fired brass. Some pieces exhibit minor denting or deformation at the case mouths from the extraction and ejection process. Primers are spent. The lot is sold as-is for reloading components.
