Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1272377 |
This is an outstanding display box or Salesman Sample from "The Ammunition Manufacturing Co. Ld. George Egestorff, Linden Near Hanover (Germany)". There some very rare cartridges in this box including 4 pinfire's. It has been quite hard to find a lot of information on George Egestorff. He apparently was involved in several industries and also was a locomotive manufacture. I have read through many discussion forums about questions regarding these cartridges and there rarity, but I have ...never seen another of these display boxes, and only a few examples of single cartridges. I don't know the exact age on this display but I did read that the company was founded in 1858. These are all dummies for display and contain no powder. The box measures 9-3/4" X 6-1/4" when closed. If I can answer any questions for you collectors please let me know. Below is some information I found.

US Buyers: I have no control over the prices charged by the USPS. The prices for shipping as well as packing supplies keep going up. I try to keep them as manageable as possible. International buyers: If you want to pay by another method other than Paypal, I will gladly ship your item any way you want. If you want to pay through Paypal please read the rules carefully that follow...... Unfortunately, some international buyers are NOT playing fair. They are making Buyer Protection complaints for items not received - and unless a U.S. seller can PROVE the item was received, we have no recourse and eBay refunds your money, FROM US. Its strange how all of a sudden, people aren't getting their stuff. If bid price is under $50.00 we can ship First Class International. If the end bid price is $50.00 or more we MUST ship Express Mail International ONLY through the United States Post Office. We will not ship by any other means for international buyers. Paypal only recognizes Express Mail Shipping because it is the only option that offers tracking which protects both the buyer and seller. Please refrain from bidding if you are unwilling to pay for this form of shipping. This does cost more than First Class Mail and Priority Mail. If you would like a shipping quote - please ask PRIOR to bidding. If we grossly over estimate the shipping we will refund you the difference so that you are paying the exact shipping. There will be no exceptions. Please consider these shipping methods and prices before bidding. We will not negotiate after the auction is over. We also will not falsify U.S. Government Postal Customs forms. This is against the law and subject to penalty. If your country charges you a duty tax, please consider this as a part of your overall price and don't ask us to lie for you. If we have done good honest business in the past this will not be necessary.
