Flaco Joe Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have a few boxes of vintage .45 ACP ammo. I got it when I inherited my grandfather’s 1911. I’m keeping some of it, but have more than is needed for display. I’d appreciate it if someone can give me a ball park value for a box as a collector item.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 What's the headstamp year read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaco Joe Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 There are no other markings anywhere on the box. The head stamp on the brass reads “WCC 64”. I assume that means Winchester Cartridge Company 1964? I know my grandfather received the gun from the CMP in 1964 for $17.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOODFOX , sass#34179 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 It was called DCM Division of Civilian Marksmanship not CMP I got a M1 carbine for the same price +$2.50 shipping those were the days . Woodfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Probably...$30ish for the full box. Not super collectable. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaco Joe Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thank you gentlemen. Reckon I should just shoot it for that price. It’s cheaper than you can get for ammo up here these days. I just saw a box of cowboy .45 Colt for $56!!! Those were the days, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaco Joe Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 I only have three boxes, and I’m in Alaska. I think the HazMat fees for shipping would far exceed the ammo’s worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, they are readily available here in the lower 48. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
