This offering is a remarkable piece of U.S. military history, originating from the acclaimed Canfield Collection and featuring 8 full boxes, 7 in their original waxed paper packaging, (25 shells each) of Western Cartridge Company 12-gauge 00 buckshot, all neatly stored in the original WWII-era wooden military ammunition crate. These shells are the iconic brass-headed, paper-hulled type commonly issued to U.S. forces during the Second World War, with clear military contract markings and Western branding. The crate itself, measuring approximately 15" x 9" x 9", retains its original period stenciling, handles, and hardware, presenting a rich, authentic patina. This ammunition was typically issued to military police, naval security, and combat troops for close-quarters defense, particularly in the Pacific theater. The 00 buckshot load was prized for its stopping power and remains one of the most recognizable combat shotgun loads in history. Whether you’re a collector of U.S. military memorabilia, vintage ammunition, or are building a wartime display, this set offers both historical value and excellent presentation.
