Included in this lot for your consideration is a collection of early UMC and Remington Arms Ammo. The collection includes two boxes of UMC .45-70, one box of UMC .45 Government, one box of Winchester .45-70, and one box of RA-17. THE UMC ammo dates close to the turn of the century, while Remington purchased the branch in 1912, dating the RA Ammunition to the early first quarter of the 1900's. The Winchester Ammunition is also from the early 1900's. The Headstamping on the Winchester ammo reads, "W.R.A. Co. - .45-70", the UMC ammo reads, "U.M.C. - S - H - .45-70", and U.M.C. - .45 GOVT." The Remington ammo reads, ""RA - 17" and is marked on the primer with an "R". The collection shows fair condition. The boxes vary from fair-good - The Remington & Winchester boxes remain in-tact, with their original lids, and a full original box. The UMC boxes are absent of lids, and show heavier deterioration, and some missing rounds. The Winchester box measures 6" wide, 1 1/4" thick, and 2 1/2" tall.
