Asked a friend who has collected ammo for over 50 years and he said it was a “fantasy-made up” item. These first starting appearing on the market around 10 or so years back. Also confirmed “not original” by another 40+ year Winchester employee/shot shell collector who has one of the most definitive shell collections. Again, totally FAKE…

There’s a LOT of such phony stuff in circulation–from the scores of fake belt-buckles to the “Red Setter” brand shot-shell box I once fell for!  The crooks who dream up these fakes ought to be handed over to ISIS.

If you were “blown away” at $250 then you are totally nuked at the selling bid of $2025.00!!!!!

Wow!

The $744 bid is for the Brass Shotshell.  See attached.  The reel sold for the $2025 number!

At first glance, to me it looked fake, I’ll be it a good fake though. Glad someone else thinks so as well.  

Sincerely,
