Collectors - a word of warning

G.W. Gill · 09-24-2005, 12:58 AM

I just bought a 1 lb. oval Dupont powder can for $8. I had to use a tool to get the cap off. Powder is good. It must have experienced a fire in its times as it had the telltale running residue marks. Wish it was a case. FF is what I use. Of course I ruined the label by cleaning. Now I have a nice can with a ghost label. Back to the discussion. These barrels and stuff we find are all real weapons that guys used to kill things with. Carefull!!
