WRA & RA "00" BUCK 12 GA COMBAT LOAD WW2 NEW REPLICA 10 ROUND AMMO BOXES - 2 PCS

Description

Up for your consideration is a two-piece set of replica WWII 10 ROUND MILITARY CONTRACT SHOTGUN SHELL BOXES, one for the Remington (RA) M19 All-Brass 00 Buckshot combat load, and one for the Winchester Repeating Arms (WRA) Paper 00 Buck combat load.
WWII paper case shotgun ammunition was initially delivered to the government in 25 round cartons, exactly as sold in the civilian market, but with a "US Property" stamp on the box. Later, the shells began to be packed at the plant in military-contract 10 round boxes, probably for ease in issue in the field, and for long-term storage in spam cans.  The 00 Buck loading with paper shells was procured by the Ordnance Department for Riot, Guard, and Combat use. By late 1944, all-brass 00 buckshot shells began replacing the paper-cased combat rounds that were becoming unusable in the damp climates of Alaska and the Pacific. Finally in early 1945, the Remington-produced M19 all-brass 00 buckshot shell became the primary authorized shotgun combat round, and was subsequently issued well into the Vietnam War period, when they were eventually replaced with a plastic-cased round.
Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for two unassembled cartons, one of each label, unless you request two of the same  label at time of purchase. The lot numbers are hand stamped on the labels prior to shipping, either matching my original boxes, or if you prefer, I can match the lot number of a spam can or crate that you may have. The cartons will be shipped flat, with assembly instructions, and the shipping is free within the US. I had a lot of these made, so if you want multiple sets, just change the auction quantity before you click on the "Buy It Now" button.
Check my feedback and buy with confidence. I prefer paypal, and payment is expected within 3 days of purchase. Shipping to US addresses is free. I will ship internationally, but there will be extra shipping charges involved, and they will be added by eBay during the checkout process. Returns are accepted, with the buyer paying return shipping. If you have a lot number or label preference, as mentioned previously, then please send details to me via the paypal checkout instructions, or send me an eBay message or email.
I also have separate "Buy It Now" listings for M1 Carbine cartons (set "A" and "B"), M1911 .45 ACP cartons (50 round and 20 round), .30 caliber Ball cartons (5 different plants), .30 caliber Armor Piercing cartons (5 different plants), .30 caliber Tracer cartons (3 different plants), .30 caliber Incendiary cartons, .30 caliber Frangible cartons (2 different plants), .30 caliber Rifle Grenade cartons, .30 caliber Bandoleer Lot Cards, .30 caliber Repacked Lot Data Cards (for belted ammo), and a .30 caliber mixed carton display set.
