I have for sale an original 2-piece box of 32 Special ammo. These are 165 grain, very rare. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/671283370

Thanks, Dana

Those primers appear spent, yet the two samples shown have bullets in them.  Am I missing something?  These cartridges are Live?

They are live, original rounds. I believe they are called 2 piece primers. Someone else probably knows more about them than I.

Thank you for the clarification.  I’d not seen this type of primer prior to your sale.

‘Protected Primer’ is the term used by collectors. Winchester cataloged them as the ‘No. 5’ and ‘No. 5-1/2’ primers. The (New) No. 4, for shotshells, was also ‘protected’.
