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.
