Lol, a shotgun shell worth keeping? Could it be? I was starting to think they were the stuff of legends

I love those things!!!

Anyone have any idea when these were made and how rare they are? I knew a old Russian who said when he was small he shot pheasants for market with 2 brass shells that he reloaded in the teens and twenties on the Russian/China Boarder.

I looked it up here on the internet and its a W.R.A. Rival and was made from the 1880's to the 1920's..

There are collectors out there who buy vintage shotgun shells like from 1880-1930s... Not that much value at all in them. Maybe $3-5

I love to find empty brass, good going.
