cleaning up an estate for a friend and ended up with a pile of older ammo. some collectible some not would like to get an idea what its value is, ill be looking to move it as one lot, not worth the hassle to break it up.


1.several boxes of CIL-Dominion in various calibers. the closed boxes are full with the exception of one of the 38-55's is missing two cartridges. the 25-20 has one end flap missing. the later imperial box is 30-30.

2. Winchester 40-70 containing 16 loaded cartridges. from what ive found on the web this is from the late 1890's- early 1900's, and is somewhat valuable. ranging anywhere from $200-$700, depending on condition.

3. 1923 made Dominion .455 Colt, containing 15 455 colts and 11 slightly shorter cartridges also Dominion made in 1923 but no caliber on the headstamp I believe are 455 Webley. even has factory packing slip.

and finally a Swiss Vetterli 41 Swiss rimfire. gun is very good shape, no rust nice patina, no cracks in the wood and an incredible bore, good clean rifling and nary a pit to be seen.

Can't speak to the ammo, but the Vetterli has a lot going for it - is an antique, unsportered, good bore and good overall condition, and cleaning rod intact. Never a hot seller - I'd say about $400, but don't expect it to sell quickly at that price. If it does, I have a few for sale.
 
Another approach to assigning values is to see what people offer you privately by PM, doubling that and then posting it as $### OBO.
