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 |
|

$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 |
|
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 |

| 30 Luger (7.65m/m) |

| 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 |

 |
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 |

| 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 |

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 |

$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 |
| 401 |

Remington. Rt flap taped on but clean ctdgs. |

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! |

Remington Klnbore. Nothing special but below wholesale. |
