Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 532:
Description
This lot comprises three vintage boxes of 9mm centerfire ammunition, containing a verified total of 130 rounds. The packaging is characterized by a vibrant red folding carton design featuring a gold-toned stylized star and white and black typography. The cartridges are organized within internal cardboard dividers and feature brass cases fitted with 124-grain full metal jacket (ball) projectiles. Extensive markings on the boxes include 50 CENTERFIRE CARTRIDGES, 9MM AMMUNITION, and 124 GR. BALL. The cartridge headstamps are consistently marked with 9X19, SIX, and 93, which provides essential identification for the 9x19mm Parabellum/Luger chambering. These physical characteristics and marking styles are consistent with commercial ammunition production from the late 20th century.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in overall fair to good condition. The brass cases and primers show varying degrees of tarnish and surface oxidation consistent with long-term storage. The lead-core projectiles remain seated securely. The vintage cardboard boxes exhibit significant shelf wear, including frayed corners, surface scuffs, creases, and localized label loss. The ammunition appears to be live, but has not been function-tested.
