    1930's vintage .38 spl and long colt

    These were my Grandfathers...I think they date from the late 1930's...perhaps someone know more about them than I do.
    thanks

    Highly collectible boxed ammo.

    I would not shoot it, but either keep as a keepsake or sell to a collector and use the proceeds to buy new shooting ammo.

    I don't intend to try shooting it...the boxes have been in my storage for the past 20 years. I have no idea what they are worth.

    Similar aged vintage .38 ammo in boxes of similar condition to yours typically go for about $50/box. If in near pristine condition double that.
