Description

This lot consists of a total of 40 fired brass cartridge cases for the .338 Winchester Magnum centerfire rifle cartridge. The casings are housed in two original Winchester-Western white cardboard boxes, each containing a 20-count cardboard divider. The brass cases feature a belted magnum design and exhibit clear factory annealing at the neck and shoulder area. Verification of the headstamps shows the marking W-W SUPER 338 WIN MAG on each case. All cases retain their spent primers, which show firing pin indentations. The .338 Winchester Magnum is a popular large-bore cartridge introduced in 1958, and these cases represent typical mid-to-late 20th-century Winchester-Western production. The packaging features the classic red W logo and blue text consistent with period Winchester-Western branding. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The brass casings are in fired condition with some light surface tarnish and typical oxidation present on the exterior walls. The primers are spent and show clear indentations. The two cardboard boxes show moderate wear at the corners and edges, with some light staining and age-related discoloration, but remain structurally intact for storage.
