99 year old 45 ACP brass

ok, after the great banter has anyone seen a price posted for these?

I understand saving vintage ammunition but is anyone sure these are once-fired cases? Maybe the split necks are why the previous owner decided to stop reloading them and left them on the ground.

Lots of interest but no price listed. Are they for sale or for discussion?

Have responded to a couple a pm's on cases and will be keeping the rest for now.
And in response to split cases, yes their were 3 cases that split. I picked these up as I had never seen a split 45 case and wanted to take a closer look at them. Was not able to read the head stamps at the range. With better light and my glasses noticed the head stamps.

Thanks for sharing that with us Ed.
Neat find.

Looks like all shot with the same gun, slightly offset firing pin.

I have seen plenty of split 45s lol. The stuff in circulation has been loaded so many times the rims are rounded but still function. Most from the60s but nothing that old. Nice find

Started as a FS thread but became a great discussion thread about brass so it was moved here.
