I attended a large auction a couple of weeks ago. There were three boxes of ammunition in the silent auction part of the auction that I was interested in. There was a full box of 44 Henry rounds, a full box of 45 Schofield rounds, and a partial box of 41 Short Rimfire rounds.
The Henry rounds were not antique rounds from the Civil War, they were Remington Rounds from a bit later. But they were real copper cased 44 Henry rounds. The Schofield rounds were Remington UMC rounds, brass cased and boxer primed. Not from 1875, but they were plenty old. The 41 Rimfire rounds were in a pretty modern looking box, so I don't know how old they were. I do know they were not the rounds made up for Navy Arms not too long ago.
I wanted all three boxes, but I didn't want to go crazy with my bids. I wrote down $100 each for the Henry and Schofield boxes, and $75 for the 41 Rimfires.
I didn't win any of them. When I went to pick up a couple of other items, I asked what the three boxes of ammo had gone for.
I was stunned to learn the box of Henry rounds went for $850! And they were not even from the Civil War! The Schofield box went for $288, and the 41 Rimfires went for $115. At least I was close with the 41s.
