My neighbor has a few boxes of 357 mag empties--they are S&W stamped-and are in the original S&W boxes--i have more brass than i need so i told him i would ask on here about value---any help would be appreciated THANKS

GD165623,

Are these once fired empties, or are they new "brass" sold for reloaders?
I think the value would depend, in the case of once fired brass I'd think very little value, on par with other once fired cases.
If they are new brass cases that S&W sold to reloaders, that would bring a slight premium, certainly for a S&W collector.
Can't advise on actual values, these don't show up often.
Can you describe the box they are in?
If new unprimed cases, are they nickel or brass?

Here's a pic of some S&W (Fiocchi) new unprimed cases I found a couple years back, the first I've run across, for comparison.


I'd be interested in a couple/few boxes if these are new unprimed cases, similar to the above pic.

Regards,

These are at least once fired-they are in blue and white box--from the 70s and or 80s--i just thought they might be somewhat collectable to a S&W person--THANKS

I like that S&W truck SmithNut. Load it up with your
S&W revolvers and go on tour. Don
