$69.95, ppd
12 Ga

Winchester. "BLACK DIAMOND", boxes of 12 premium Target loads with fancy black hulls and bright, nickel-plated bases.  Made in Italy, this has become a scarce, collectible Winchester item! (Recent auction: $22.50 + 17%= $26.32!) New from case. Beautiful shells but box will have an edge or corner crinkle or some such imperfection.

SPECIAL:  Order 3 to 5 bxs @$11.50; order 6+ @$10.

$12.50

 
219 Zipper

Winchester.  The 1st box ("1935 style") in this caliber and in the scarce 46 gr JHP which were only loaded up to the start of WWII. Left flap skillfully pasted back but all ctdgs have the orig 46 gr b'ts. This w/b a $150 box w/o the repair. $110
219 Zipper

Winchester. "1939" box, 56 gr JHP. Shows some scuffing on front and minor loss on top rt end (see pix). Back side has identical graphics as front and is much nicer. Nice, orig rds. Collectible box at less than "shooter" price! $80

22 Short

CIL (Dominion of Canada).  Early "Super-Clean" 2-pc bx, ca 1928-31. Ten orig rds remain.

$20

22 Short

Remington-UMC. Earliest box picturing the Rem Model 12 rifle.  Stained at edge of top label. 40 orig rds remain.

$20

22 LR

Winchester-Western XPEDITERS. 10 flashy silver/red/white boxes in orig sleeve--each with 1 flap ripped off! (Your guess is as good as mine...) Anyhow, 10 great "shooter" bxs for $5/box.

$50

22 Win Auto

Peters. Thought to be the earliest box in this caliber by Peters, ca 1903-05. SEALED but box has label damage at right end of lid-top and left end of front edge. Still, it's cheaper than a box of "shooters".

$30

22 WMR
(Win Mag)

Remington. The only run of this caliber made by Rem pre-1961 and supposedly re-called. Not sure about that, but I DO know they're VERY hard to find. Dunn: Rem-15 WMR-1. This box has 45 original ctdgs & 5 Super-X fillers.

$45

22 WRF
Hol Pts

Remington. "Pointed Dogbone" logo, late-1930s, in the very scarce Hollow Point loading. Dunn: REM-9 WRF-2b. Shows some wear but flaps intact & it's full of orig H.P. ammo. [See also ".22 RF" pg]

$25

sold

22 RF
Extra Long

Swiss box w/35 clean, orig rds remaining.

$50

25 Auto (ACP) Remington. Klnbore box, ca 1945-55. Has 34 orig rds. Cheapest thing on the website! $15
250 Savage "High Power"

Remington, 87 gr Mushroom (JHP), the true "250-3000" loading, ca early-1920s. HS is "Rem-UMC 250 HP". Box is solid & clean w/ 19 orig ctdgs remaining. Nice, scarce early 2-pc box! $87.50
 
256 Win Mag [yellow bx] Western Super-X. Early-'60s bx w/49 orig rds. $80
30 Luger
(7.65m/m)

Remington. Early 1-pc box, ca 1922-25. Full of its original rds but box is a bit rough, so...

$25

30 (7.63m/m) Mauser /or/
7.62 Tokarev

Interchangeable as to caliber, the boxes are labeled only as in the picture (though handwritten "30 Mauser" on sides).
Possibly made in East Germany for the Russians, headstamp: H P  II  59 (indicating 1959 mfr). Cheap fodder for that old Broomhandle: 4 bxs of 70 rds each & 1 bx w/65 rds, a total of 345 rds, nearly seven 50-rd bxs, for one price...

$110

7.62 m/m Russian

Remington Klnbore box. Full of orig 150 gr "Bronze Point" rds. Make that old Win M95 Russian musket (see below) bark again!

$50

7.7 m/m Jap

Norma, 180 gr SP, 2 boxes--1 full & 1 w/ 13 rds--total of 33 rds for 1 price. By reputation, this is the highest quality ammo available.

$35

Paper Patched 165 gr. bullets by unknown maker, box of 25.  Great condition, clean & uniform. Larger caliber bullets such as these sell at $10-15 each.

$95

32 Auto (ACP) Two boxes: 1 Peters, Kings Mills address, ca mid-1930s, w/ 30 orig rds. Also, 1 Winchester, "1939" style, w/ 21 orig rds.

Take either for $20 or both for....

$35
32 Long RF

Winchester. Post-war K-code box w/ 34 orig rds w/ "frosty" bullets.

$85

32 Short RF

Western "Bullseye" box, pre-war. Msg left flap but full of orig ctdgs.

$95
sold

32 S&W U.M.C., black powder "patent" box, the box intro'd in 1883 and used by UMC till 1903. It is easily recognized by the 2 circles embossed on the lid & bottom of the box. Unfortunately, while there some original rds in the box, which is full, most are just period fillers. $27.50
sold
32 WSL
(Win Mod '05)
U.S. Cartridge Co. Two-pc box has no top label but dates pre-1925. The cartridges are the scarcer Full Metal Jacket loading and are all native to the box. Interesting & cheap! $62.50

(Win Mod '05)
Several rough boxes w/ clean ammo, cheap! Several different makers (Remington shown). $75-80
32-40

32-40 Winchester. Scarce "Metal Patched" (FMJ) loading, ca 1910-12. These red label Full Metal Patched boxes are seldom seen in these older, black powder calibers. $135
33 WCF Winchester. FIRST BOX in this caliber, the first and only smokeless cartridge designed for  the Win Mod 1886. The other 12 all had black powder origins. While the box shows considerable wear and tape removal marks it is one of only a couple calibers that had the Winchester callout logo on the front label. Also, it is one of only 3 or 4 calibers that exhibited this red-orange label,1902-3 only. [See Giles & Shuey pg123 for more info]. Both "Sunburst" labels are also present, "Smokeless" on one end and "Soft Point" on the other. The box contains 10 correct, protected primer rds. A very scarce box which books for $200-400! $95

38 RF Blanks UMC. Blk pwdr Blanks. Clean, SEALED box, ca 1890s. Bonus: the box is the old "patent" box intro'd by UMC in 1883 and is readily identifiable by the 2 circles embossed on both the lid & bottom of the box. Clean on all sides & bottom as well. $40
38-40 Remington UMC. This box is no "trip to Hollywood" but it IS a very rare box. Has 3 orig paper-patched "UMC SH 38-40" rds but 2 have had patches stripped. $40
38-55 H.V. Imperial. The only true commercial High Velocity loading in this caliber in the past 50 years: 1600 fps stated on box. 16 of orig 20 cln rds remain. $40

UMC. Smkls, Soft Point box w/ 2 orig rds (tinned JSP b'ts, "u" on primers). Solid display box!

$40

38-56

Winchester. Dated 4-16, the only date on a Full Patch box ever seen in .38-56, this Full Patch (FMJ) loading is very scarce, rated Rarity-3 in Giles & Shuey (see pg 131). Only it has problems: a) it's missing the left end of the lid; b) the lid, while correct, seems to be a mismatch to an also correct bottom; and, c) the cartridges (again, correct) have small, shallow holes or indents in the nose (see pic). Anyhow, faults and all, it's cheap. If all were as original it would be a $350-550 box (again, pls see Giles & Shuey, pg 131).

$75
sold

401

Remington. Rt flap taped on but clean ctdgs.

$80

405

Winchester. The last of the Win boxes in this great caliber. Nice color.

$75

44 Colt Packet
(REPRO)

Paul R. Murphy, Boston Mass. This packet of 6 reproduction .44 Colt "Combustible Envelope Cartridges", while not a risk to being passed off as a genuine, "period" packet, it is minty and quite possibly (and feels like) it contains repro cartridges (unlike the phony packets going around). Anybody know anything about these, when they were made or who Paul Murphy was? Neat item at any rate!

$45

44-40

Remington Klnbore. Nothing special but below wholesale.

$45

45 Colt & Schofield

Frankford Arsenal, 1878. Missing top but all 12 original ctdgs inside and shrink-wrapped w/ orig pullstring. $150
45 Colt & Schofield

Frankford Arsenal, 1878. Missing left end but all 12 original ctdgs inside and shrink-wrapped w/ orig pullstring. $165
45 Colt & Schofield

Frankford Arsenal, 1878. Sealed w/ string intact but a couple of dents put this one in the Bargain Bin. $240
455 Colt, Eley  & Webley

Dominion (Canada). Ca early-1970s. Note the numerous callouts (on the side of the box) for which this cartridge is appropriate. Partial box of 42. $65
50-110 Single Rounds Inquire Have a number (more than 20) of loose Winchester (& a few UMC) 50-110 rds for sale. Different bullet types & primer types in smokeless & blk pwdr. Either I'll buy your empty boxes or will sell the cartridges individually. $18-25
12 Ga
