Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 596:
Description
This lot contains a collection of 1000 Winchester Large Pistol (WLP) primers designed for use in both standard and magnum pistol loads. The primers are housed in their original blue and red cardboard packaging which features the iconic Winchester rider logo. These components are specifically engineered for reloading applications requiring a large pistol primer and are noted for their versatility across various handgun calibers. Front panel markings clearly specify “LARGE PISTOL FOR STANDARD OR MAGNUM PISTOL LOADS” and include the Winchester “WLP” product code. Safety warnings are present in both English and French, consistent with North American distribution. The lot includes a total verified quantity of 1000 primers. Note – As ammunition components, these items do not require a federal 4473 background check; however, they must be shipped in accordance with hazardous materials regulations.
Condition report:
The packaging shows typical signs of shelf wear, including minor scuffing along the edges and a small tear at the lower-left corner of the front flap. The brass primer cups exhibit a natural aged patina with visible surface oxidation and tarnish. One black plastic tray is partially full with 96 primers visible; the remaining quantity is assumed to be contained within the accompanying boxed units to meet the total count. The primers appear to be live and in usable condition for reloading, though they have not been function-tested.
