I found 35 44 WCF cartridges, W.R.A. CO with copper colored unmarked primers. I have seen a number of different statements about when this headstamp was used. I would like to see them find a new home, maybe trade for some new ammo or? I have no idea what they are worth. Clean and shiny, some have small spots of corrosion and the lead has the typical frosty appearance. No box. Also have a newer (70s?) box of 50 nickel plated Western 145gn LRN 38 S&W. Box with 6 rds WRA marked .380 and 4 fired cases. Not Winchester, I have 12 rds REM – UMC 45-60. Thanks for any info, and let me know if you have any interest.

Hi Larry, I have 20 rounds in a very rough box. 12 rounds lead bullet. 7 rounds jacketed bullet and 1 round copper jacketed bullet. All original rounds.  

Thanks Dane, but I am looking for a sealed early box. My rifle dates to 1890 and I want some as close as possible. I picked up those 2  44-40’s on an Internet site for $400 shipped. Could not believe my luck.  Thanks, Big Larry

OK, If i find something i will let you know. Keep an eye on Wards collectibles auctions. They have a lot of neat old ammo.  

I usually watch Wards every month. Nothing on any 40-65 past two months. I didn’t know they sold guns too, but they sure had some nice ones at auction. Big LarryDSCF9527.JPGImage Enlarger
