Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 91:
Description
This lot consists of 38 rounds of Remington brand .410 bore shotgun shells housed in two original cardboard Game Loads boxes. The boxes are identified by the product code GL4106 and feature a color illustration of a running rabbit against a green and cream background. Printed specifications on the packaging include 410 BORE, 2 1/2 LENGTH, 1200 VELOCITY FPS, 1/2 OZ. SHOT, and shot size 6. The cartridges are constructed with black ribbed plastic hulls and brass-colored metal bases. The hulls are printed with silver-toned text, much of which remains legible, reading Remington, 410, 2 1/2, and MAX 1/2 – 6. These specifications indicate a standard field load suitable for small game hunting.
Condition report:
The original cardboard boxes show moderate wear consistent with storage and age, including scuffing to the printed surfaces, creasing at the corners, and minor staining (photo 1). The plastic hulls appear to be in good structural condition with some surface dust visible. The metal bases exhibit minor surface oxidation and dulling of the finish (photos 2 and 3). The printed silver text on several hulls shows varying degrees of fading and abrasion (photo 2).
