I bought these from the CMP back in the day. There is a trace of purple primer sealant visible around some of the primer pockets. Some of these cases must be from ammunition that was disassembled.

Buy it all and get free shipping in a US Postal flat rate box.
.59 per case X 568 = $335.12
I can take PayPal or personal check or US Postal money order.
PM if you are interested
Thanks for looking,
Jeff

Have the primer pocket crimps been swaged or reamed?

The crud wiped out with a q-tip. There is no mark or impression of the primer anvil that you would expect to see in a fired case. Also, I have looked at the inside of the case with my bore scope. There are no signs that it was ever fired.

It looks like the primer crimps have been reamed. Under magnification, some circular machine marks can be seen, along with some micro burrs at the junction of the primer pocket and the case head.
