any eye deer... value of 38 short Colt headstamped brass ???

Magnum Wheel Man · February 11, 2010, 08:43 AM

I know they are physically the same as the 38 S&W, but I have 45 or so good cases that are headstamped Western 38 short Colt, & an original box the ammo came in, that I'm going to sell... curious if you guys think there is reasonable demand for that headstamp, & aproximate value ( getting ready for a gun show next month, & I'm going to part with these ) the cases have already been decapped, & I'm running them through my tumbler just to polish them up a bit

any thoughts ??? thanks

.38 Short Colt is NOT the same cartridge as .38 S&W. It has a smaller case diameter. The .38 Colt New Police is the same as the .38 S&W.
