I bought these in a antique shop, ive been looking around and I realized origional caps can be worth something....

Anyhow...Are these origional?????
They still work ,as I tried them in my origional 1860 army....They are waaay more toxic and loud then cci caps ill tell ya.

So ...what do ya think ??

Looks like the real thing. Is that an unopened roll? Worth a lot more if it is.
BTW they are probably corrosive too. Clean up the gun real well.

Yep...worth a few bucks to a collecter. Put them up on E-bay or some other auction board, you may get enough to buy another gun.
And don,t tear the wraping off or polish up the tin.

The opened one is actually a cardboard container.
I dont know if the sealed ones are any different?????

Id have to think on it a bit before I would sell, ecconomys bad now seems folk are doing more selling then buying
If I do sell what kind of cash would I be looking at???

And yes the roll is sealed and unopened "there are 10 tins in there"

Keep in mind that you cannot legally mail them. Also how about a closeup of the label and the actual caps

Thanks guys!!

I will try to take better shots after work in the morning...Seems I just cannot get a good shot...either too bright with flash or too dim and fuzzy without "landscape setting"


Cheers

I find that I have to take the photos outside in the sunlight and use a tripod. On shiny metal parts, I usually put my finger over the flash to get away from glare.

Ok this is about the clearest I can get with this camera without a tripod.
You will notice the mystery caps are beefier , they give very good fire.
