Chili Ron Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Howdy,, If you are selling this old ammunition you might consider making up a statement that it is presented as antique and may or may not work properly. It just seems like a way to get a lawsuit you dont need. Protect yourself good luck. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The 38-40 cases can be aged somewhat by looking in them to see if they are ballonhead or not. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugler Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Don't know how to fix the picture problem..... The 45-70 ammo has been identified as mfg. for a two year period between 1878-1880. The .45 acp shotshells were issued during WW2 to air crews as a survival cartridge. The 38-40 casing are Starline..... The 351 SLR Winchester ammo is a mix of WW and Remington Thanks to all!! Especially Backstrap Bill for his research........ Bugler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
