Gun show buyer beware! If they were in a clear bag, it should have been obvious. If not and the seller will not allow you to examine the contents, go elsewhere. Years ago, when I still gave a ***** about gun shows, I bought three boxes of "9mm Nato M882", in nice military boxes. Seller didn't want to open the boxes. "I don't want them damaged". I took a chance on them. I ended up with two boxes of reloads, which I tossed, and one of commercial Remington. They worked, but lesson learned.
