123 Rounds of Vintage Western and Winchester Western .38-40 Winchester 180 gr. Soft Point Ammunition
Description
This lot comprises 123 ROUNDS of center fire ammunition, presented in three vintage cardboard boxes primarily labeled “Western,” “Winchester,” and “Winchester Western” brands. The cartridges are identified as “38-40 Winchester 180 gr. Soft Point.” A handwritten date “7.20.67” (July 20, 1967) and price “$19.00” are visible on one yellow box. Packaging text includes “WARNING: Keep out of reach of children” and mentions compatibility with “Win. Models 92, 73, 94” and other specific firearms. The brass-cased cartridges feature lead bullets, with most headstamps stamped “W-W 38-40.” While outer packaging indicates “50 Center Fire Cartridges,” a handwritten pink label on an inner box states “38/40 Factory 22 rounds,” contributing to the total of 123 rounds.
