BRASS SHOT SHELLS – 10 GA., 12 GA., 8 GA. & 4 GA.
– WINCHESTER AND OTHER MAKERS: A good selection
of large gauge shot shells made of brass and other
metals by a variety of makers including Winchester.
These are perfect pieces to display with early shotguns
and their accoutrements, and they are in excellent
condition if you choose to reload them. If you’ve never
heard the definitive “THUNK” that sounds when one
of these large shells are dropped into the open breech
of an exposed hammer “street howitzer”, you’re missing
the full experience of owning an antique shotgun.
Each is listed below with accompanying photographs and
the price per shell.
In some cases I have multiple shells of the various
types, so if you wish to buy more than one, please
inquire when you place your order.

the "Manville Gun", a stockless, semi-automatic,
revolving gun introduced by Charles Manville in 1935.
The gun featured a heavy cylinder which rotated with
each shot, functioning on a clock work type spring which
was wound manually during the reloading process.
In 1938, Manville introduced three calibers for the gun
- 12 gauge, 25 MM, and 37MM. Manville ceased
production of the gun in 1943. The Art Burnside
Company was a supplier of police equipment located in
Spokane, Washington and was in business prior to World
War Two. (0326) $80.00
