This lot consists of two original Winchester two-piece boxes of .30-40 Krag "Full Patch" smokeless cartridges, each box containing 20 rounds for a total of 40 cartridges. These cartridges were produced during the early smokeless powder era and were intended for use in U.S. service rifles such as the Krag-Jorgensen and Winchester Model 1895. The .30-40 Krag was the first smokeless powder cartridge adopted by the U.S. military in the 1890s, marking a significant transition from black powder to modern ammunition technology.
The boxes are classic early Winchester packaging with red labels retaining strong legibility with period-correct typography and graphics. Both boxes appear unopened, with intact structure and original closures. The packaging shows expected age-related wear including edge softening, light creasing, and minor discoloration, but remains solid and highly presentable for display.
Given the unopened condition of both boxes and the overall preservation of the packaging, the cartridges inside are expected to be in good condition. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire early Winchester smokeless military ammunition in original packaging, ideal for collectors of U.S. martial arms, early cartridge development, or Winchester advertising history.
