Could very well have been over a year ago. It's crazy how time flies. If I'd have paid attention to your first post I'd have seen the part where you said you "found these at a local gun show about a year ago".
I remember asking the guy about those two boxes because they weren't priced. I don't remember what he said but it seemed too cheap, so I asked "Are you sure? For the old virgin Krag brass?" He took a closer look and said "Oh, no, not those. Those are more." I just smiled, thought so. I wasn't going to buy them either way, just curious, but I did figure it was still a good deal for someone looking for Krag brass. That's really the only reason I go to shows, just walk around and look at stuff, and talk to the old timers. The club shows are so much better for that.
It was probably Albany or Rickreall where I saw them, early last year if I had to guess. I haven't been to a Eugene show in a long time, since we moved from Springfield. If you go to a lot of shows I'm sure we've seen each other around. About the only ones I get to anymore are the club shows in Albany and Rickreall. I really liked Roseburg, but we're just too far away now.
I've got a bag full of assorted 30-40 brass around somewhere, everything from modern to old FA04 GI brass. Every once in a while I think I should get rid of all that kind of stuff sell it to someone else who can use it.
