Description:

All three of these boxes are unopened and marked for 50 rounds of their respective cartridges. The first is a Winchester box with green label of ".32 Cal. Colt/NEW POLICE/SOLID HEAD. CENTRAL FIRE./RIFLE CARTRIDGES." The sides have maroon labels marked ".32 COLT C.F./NEW POLICE./RIFLE." The second is a Winchester box with green label of "RIFLE CARTRIDGES/SOLID HEAD./COLT 44 (on a bullet image)/CENTER FIRE RELOADING." The side labels are orange and are marked ".44 Caliber/COLTS C.F./Winchester/Make." The rifle designations on these two boxes suggest loads tailored for rifles rather than revolvers. The third and final box is from the United States Cartridge Co. and is for .38 Long Colt and has all blue labels.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall with minor flaking and storage wear. Full, unopened boxes of vintage ammunition are very hard to find and are excellent for displaying alongside compatible firearms.
