I travel a lot for business, so I always try and visit gun stores to see if they have anything for my collection.

Came across these today.  First time I have ever seen them anywhere.

Anybody here know anything about when they were made or used?

1 box, 20 Cartridges, Blank, Caliber 30 (1898) M3 made by Remington Arms Company.

The box has never been opened.  There are faint traces of a lot number, but they are hard to make out.  It looks like lot number 5237.

Do they look any thing like these?

I have a bunch of these blanks.  In fact, I gave half that I had away to a guy up by Newville, Penn. because his veterans group uses krags for the final send off.

When I remember how many of those sealed boxes of vintage Krag and '03 ammo I ripped open back in the 60's and 70's in order to shoot tin cans in the shale pit, I want to cry!
