Extremely Rare 50 Count Box of Experimental Winchester 9.8 mm Automatic Colt Cartridges

This is an extremely rare example of the experimental 9.8mm Automatic Colt cartridge that was developed c. 1910 for use in the prototype Colt Model 1910 pistol, which Colt planned to market primarily in Eastern Europe to compete with Fabrique Nationale. The outbreak of World War I and a marketing deal between FN and Colt led to the Model 1910 and its interesting 9.8mm Auto cartridge never making it to full production, with only five prototypes of the pistol being believed to have been made, leaving exceptionally few examples of the pistol, as well as the cartridges, available on the collectors market. Constructed from brown cardboard, with a black-on-orange lid label and a green seal. The lid label bears a picture of the 9.8mm Automatic Colt cartridge, and is marked for 50 rounds, with the New Haven address below. Though the factory seal is broken, the box contains a full compliment of cartridges.

Rating definitionFine, the labeling on the box showing crisp text and minimal fading to the colors, some general mild handling/storage wear, the factory seal broken, one short end of the lid detached at the corners, and pieces of the seal opposite the Winchester guarantee absent. The cartridges themselves are very fine with an attractively aged patina. Do not miss this opportunity to add one of Colt's rarest cartridges to your collection!
