High bid $35.00

Status: Sold

Four antique Remington family 410 gauge paper hull shotshells representing four rare and historically significant load variations, including a Rem-UMC Nitro 6C Load head stamped "R.E.M.-UMC 410 Nitro," a Remington Express Slug Load head stamped "Remington Express," a Remington Peters No. 5 Load head stamped "Remington Express 410," and an exceptionally rare Remington Express Proof Load bearing the bold red "DANGER" overprint on the natural kraft paper hull with a nickel base. The Proof Load is particularly noteworthy as these were factory test rounds loaded to extreme pressures used to proof test shotgun barrels before sale, and surviving examples with intact "DANGER" markings are among the most coveted shells in antique cartridge collecting. The lot showcases the rich history of the Remington ammunition family spanning the early UMC merger era through the Peters acquisition period, all featuring the classic green paper hulls of the era except the distinctive tan Proof Load. Remington Peters measures OAL 2.88in MW .45in REM-UMC measures OAL 2.39in MW .45in Remington Express measures OAL 2.28in MW .45in Remington Express measures 2.86in MW .45in
