For shipping, rounds will removed from original box and shipped in plastic box. Original box will have styrofoam fitted inside and then wrapped in bubble wrap. With a lifetime supply of foam peanuts in the shipping box. 😎

For anyone wanting to ship sporting ammunition via UPS Ground service, here is the label to put on at least two sides of your box. It replaces the old "ORMD" label.

1890's I believe is a little early for for those. Round corner 45-90, I'm thinking around 1904 was when they were introduced. First box is pretty nice, I did notice the split in the top cover tho. I would be interested. I will PM you.

Circa late 1890’s - early 1900’s. First box is very nice. Ammo is original... see pics, feel free to ask questions. It's $475. plus shipping. The second box shows wear and has a hole on the bottom at one end. I have most of the missing piece for the new owner to "restore". There are 5 original rounds and 7 Remington rounds... $245. plus shipping. Buy them both for $600. plus shipping. If there's no interest here, they will go to Tulsa and Reno next month. Please PM with questions. Cheers. Ben

I can't believe I wasn't included in this! After all it IS 45-90. Maybe I don't have enough street cred!

I can concur with Bill about the PITA factor with shipping ammo. Usps WILL NOT take it, period. Fed-x had me jump thru hoops and then when it took it to the exact drop off office I was told to go to, the lady behind the counter would not take it! that was a total waste of time and gas money that day. UPS is the only shipper now as far as I can tell and they are terrible. To the point I still have ammo I was trying to ship to Bill himself I have been unable to moveout. I will tell you this, I know people have shipped it and have been very tight lipped what is contained in the package, and I know it has bit some people in the ass. Like some antique stuff I bought and never got here! So my advise is do it right or you could be out alot of money!

I do happen to have another box… slight damage to bottom, overall, not as appealing… has 5 Winchester original rounds and 7, ahem, Remington rounds… would be fine for display…. Haven’t come up with a price yet… I’m still thinkin’

I'll charge him $475. I'd charge you, $550. just to be ornery. If he declines, I MAY let you have it for his price. It's not .577 It is late 1890's / early 1900's... might even fit in one of those single shooters of yours... shipping isn't included. If you both want it, I'm willing to split it in the middle and send each of you half... 🙂
