Twin Cities Arsenal .45 M1911

[Cal2121]

I have 600 rounds of Twin Cities Arsenal .45 M1911, Lot TWS. I just opened the spam type can yesterday, so the individual boxes of shells and rounds are in pristine condition. I have pictures but couldn't figure out how to upload them.

Based on my brief Internet research, it appears they are very old (I received them from my grandfather, who they were issued to) and corrosive. I'd rather not shoot corrosive rounds, so I'm trying to figure out what to do with them.

Any idea what they are worth?
Any idea if I could trade them somewhere?

Thank you for any help.

What does the headstamp on the cases. The number there is usually the year of manufacture.

The head stamp on each case says "T W 53"

Corrosive primers are not all that bad. If you clean the weapon with hot soapy water and than oil it right away there will not be any damage. If it were me given the current shortage I would use them and clean the weapon right after shooting, not the next day or that night I do it at the range.
