Our goal is to provide you with quality items at reasonable prices, and moreover, to help you find that elusive part that restores your gun, or that scarce item to enhance your collection.

Description:
If You're a Veteran, Active Duty Military or Service Member's Family - Thank You!
Offered for your consideration is a very scarce antique box of Winchester .44-40 (.44 WCF) cartridges for the Model 1873 and 1892 rifles, with a patent date of Dec. 14, 1886. This is thought to be the first smokeless soft point offering from Winchester (Giles & Shuey p.71). The labels are intact and readable with a few minor blemishes here and there. There are 46 original cartridges in the box, all in VG+ condtion. The 4 missing cartridges can be easily replaced with a little searching online or at a gun show. Overall an exceptional box of WRA cartridges that will display very nicely, and will be a fine addition to any collection - don't miss it!

The cartridges included in this listing are close to 150 years old - they are for display only and should not be used in any weapon!!

PLEASE NOTE: All of my items are subject to sale elsewhere, so if you are interested in this cartridge box you should buy it sooner than later before someone else scoops it up. Thanks for looking!
