The 38-44 box caught my eye

[weatherby]

Down at my LGS
So I inquired about the box
Store owner stated he only took the stuff to help the guy get rid of it.

Said he gave the guy 10 bucks and if I wanted it I could have it for that.
I did but gave him 20.
Figured the Weatherby was worth that alone.

Some pretty good stuff in the box
I really liked the 45-70
A pretty big rimfire was in it too.

The 45-70 ammo is neat too. The rimfire cartridge looks like a 44 Henry but looks can be deceiving - measure it and get back with us. You scored big time. The rimfire cartridge alone might be worth what you paid.

The bullet diameter is right around .419
Here it is next to a 44 wcf gallery round.
At least that's what I think it is that was in the box also.

Need some stand alone pictures of the boxes themselves. The Weatherby boxes are toast with the tape on them, the ammo itself maybe collectable. The 45-70's and the .38-44 boxes are the jewels if in good condition, For the info on cartridges go here: International Ammunition Association Web Forum

None of the boxes really look in collectible condition.

One atleast of the 45-70 boxes is blackpowder
I thought that cool

Thats very cool. You obviously have better gun shops than I do around here. Any ammo in that 38/44 box?

The 44WCF is not a gallery load. These ball loads were for small game hunting, mainly in single shot garden guns or the Marbles Game Getters. Neat stuff.

Doesn't sound like a Henry cartridge but it still might be very valuable. Link to the Henry cartridge:
