This lot consists of two original U.S. military paper-wrapped ammunition packs containing .410 bore M35 shotgun shells, each pack holding 25 rounds for a total of 50 cartridges. These are marked "WCC-6008", indicating production by Western Cartridge Company, a major supplier of U.S. military ammunition during the mid-20th century. The .410 M35 loading was developed for use in survival weapons issued to aircrew, most notably the U.S. military M6 and related survival firearms designed for compact storage and versatility in emergency situations.
Both packs remain unopened in their original kraft paper wrapping, with clear military stencil markings. The paper shows expected storage wear including light creasing, edge softening, and minor discoloration, but remains intact and legible. The sealed condition strongly suggests the cartridges inside have been well preserved and are expected to be in very good condition.
These unopened U.S. military survival ammunition packs represent a desirable combination of historical relevance and collectible appeal, particularly for those interested in Cold War-era survival gear and military-issued small arms accessories.
