Lot 83:
Description
This lot comprises a collection of 100 spent brass rifle ammunition casings chambered in .300 Savage, a bottlenecked rimless cartridge originally designed by Arthur Savage in 1920 for the Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle. These once-fired casings feature a variety of prominent manufacturer headstamps including Winchester-Western (marked W – W 300 SAVAGE), Remington-Peters (marked R – P 300 SAV), The casings exhibit the characteristic short-neck design of the .300 Savage caliber and are intended for handloading or reloading purposes. The natural brass finish shows varying degrees of surface oxidation and the case mouths display minor structural irregularities consistent with the mechanical firing and ejection process. This group provides a useful assortment for collectors of vintage sporting calibers or enthusiasts of the Savage Model 99 and 720 rifles. All primers are spent and no live projectiles are present.
