Gun Ammunition Auctions
Both shotgun and rifle ammunition feature prominently in all of Harper Field’s specialist gun auctions, with items usually falling into one of two categories. The first of these is usable ammunition such as 12, 16 and 20 bore shotgun cartridges or rifle cartridges in the many numbers of various calibres, and the second and usually more valuable category is collectable ammunition, with some individual shotgun or rifle cartridges being worth hundreds of pounds each due to being very popular with collectors, especially if in their original boxes or packaging.
As well as the physical ammunition itself, all things ammunition related also sell very well, including original packaging and boxes, shop displays and cabinets, re-loading tools and equipment and enamel and advertising signs.
