    Old Remington Peter's 45-70

    These look once fired. Good bet they are older than me. Gifted by a member here.

    The box looks like its from the late 50s or into the 60s.

    It's easy enough to check, but they're 'probably' not corrosive primed or balloon head.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    What Ed said, late 50’s, If they have the child warning somewhere on the box they would be post 1962 which is when they started putting that warning on the boxes
