Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 506:
Description
This lot contains a verified quantity of 1,000 Winchester Large Pistol (WLP) primers designed for use in both standard and magnum pistol loads. The primers are housed in their original blue cardboard packaging featuring red and gold script, with one black plastic tray of 100 primers currently removed for inspection. Key markings on the box include the Winchester logo of a rider on horseback, the manufacturer name Winchester, and the product designation WLP. The packaging includes safety warnings in both English and French and identifies the contents as suitable for standard or magnum pistol applications. The brass cups show significant surface oxidation and tarnish consistent with long-term storage, while the cardboard exterior exhibits minor edge wear and a small tear on the lower-left corner.
Condition report:
The primers show significant surface tarnish and dark oxidation across the brass cups. The cardboard packaging remains structurally sound but displays moderate edge wear and a small tear at one corner. The primers appear to be live and unused, though the visible oxidation suggests they are older stock.
