I would start by posting this question in the "Ammo and Reloading" subforum since this is the "for sale" section.
Give a screenshot of the markings on the bottom of the cartridge(s) or write them down.
Hopefully most of the rest in in better condition.
Good luck.Originally posted by Kestryll:

Two thoughts
1- Read the headstamp and search for the headstamp on Google or GunBroker to see if it is selling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ary_headstamps
The ammo in the picture, to me, is garbage.
Too Corroded to shoot or collect... but I am wrong a lot- so give it a search
CalGuns does not clog its servers with images. You are better posting/ hosting the image on a free site like imgur or https://imgbb.com/
then post the HQ image link here....
2- ammo sellers carry liability insurance... guns KB- Ka Boom- Blow up
When your gun blows up and ammo is to blame... start with the seller for repair / replacement of the gun and any human damage... damaged hands- skin grafts- eye balls- etc.Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

It has a very limited value. If you can have the components disassembled properly, the brass and projectiles can be tumble cleaned. Sell as, “components only”. All of it would need to be reloaded anyway because it’s not good with that much corrosion nor is it advised to assume that it could be fired safely. This does not mean to take it apart UNLESS you understand how to disassemble it properly and safely and discard the old powder and knock out and properly discard the primers or, you have a responsible friend who knows how to do that. If not, don’t chance it, sell as components only. That is a fair and reasonable disclaimer. I would definitely say, “Not safe to fire as is, being sold as components only.” Make sure the buyer understands and agrees to this not only verbally but get them to sign something when they pick it up.Last edited by Daddo; 04-26-2021, 10:23 PM."Don't live in fear...it's not a good look."
