Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 7:
Description
This lot comprises two 50-round boxes of Remington Target 38 Special centerfire ammunition, totaling 100 rounds. The cartridges are loaded with 158-grain lead round-nose (RN) bullets seated in nickel-plated brass casings. The headstamps are clearly marked “R-P 38 SPL”, identifying the manufacturer as Remington-Peters. The ammunition is housed in black plastic organizing trays within original green and yellow cardboard packaging. The boxes are labeled for use in “TARGET PISTOL/REVOLVER” and feature the Remington brand logo and “MADE IN THE USA” insignia. The side panels provide technical specifications including the caliber, bullet weight, and lead round-nose construction.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears in very good condition with no visible oxidation to the lead bullets or nickel-plated casings (photo 3). The cardboard packaging shows moderate wear consistent with storage and handling, including creasing to the top and side panels, edge fraying, and small tears at the corner flaps (photos 1 and 2). One box is pictured open, confirming the presence of the internal plastic tray and cartridges (photo 3).
