Product Description
A particularly unusual inert Winchester .58-55 centre-fire rifle cartridge, manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
The brass case carries the desirable early Winchester headstamp:
W.R.A.Co. – 58-55
This is an imposing large-bore sporting cartridge with a long straight brass case and a substantial lead-tipped jacketed projectile. The exposed lead nose and cannelured jacket give the cartridge a particularly attractive early sporting-ammunition appearance.
The W.R.A.Co. marking belongs to Winchester's classic early headstamp system. Winchester began transitioning from W.R.A.Co. to the abbreviated W.R.A. marking around 1929–30, although the older marking continued considerably later on some low-production and obsolete cartridges.
An excellent addition to a collection of obsolete American sporting ammunition, Winchester cartridges and unusual large-bore rifle rounds.
