I didn't know where to put this, as it really isn't about reloading. I've got a couple handfulls of "obsolete" ammuntion that I picked up in an odds and ends box a while back.
7 - REM-UMC .38 WCF hollow point bullets 23 - UMC .38 S&W lead bullets 50 - REM-UMC 35 S&W FMJ bullets 2 - UMC .32 S&W lead bullets 3 - WRA Co. .32 WCF lead bullets I have nothing that chambers these rounds. In fact, I've never heard of half these calibers. I was wondering if these were worth more than some spare change, or if they were a dime-a-dozen, so to speak. I figured it might be good trade fodder, but I'd like to know the value before I do. Any help would be appreciated. |

Quoted: The .38 WCF is .38-40 I think, the .38 S&W is still loaded by Winchester I think, the .35 S&W is the same as a .32 ACP and I think the 32 WCF is a 32-20?I didn't know where to put this, as it really isn't about reloading.

They were made in lever action rifles and revolvers. The 38-40 actually shoots a .40 bullet. The 38 S&W is like a 38 Short. It is shorter and weaker than the 38 Special. I have a Colt Police Positive in this caliber and it has virtually no recoil. I don't think any have been made for 60 years or more. I am not familiar with the 35 S&W so no help there. The 32 WCF is as P08 said, 32-20. These were like the 38-40, made in lever guns and revolvers. They are fun to shoot and were very difficult to reload before the advent of the collet crimp die. They have thin brass and many have been ruined by reloaders (including me). Of all your ammo, only the 35 S&W would be hard to come by as the others are still being made today. Unless you found a collector that wanted a round or two they wouldn't be of tremendous value unless you had the original boxes. |

.35 S&W Automatic was made before WWII when S&W made their first venture into the Semi-Automatic market.... it was a commercial flop. http://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/101558/908459544/pop_wm_1296899.jpg http://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/101558/908459544/pop_wm_1296908.jpg http://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/101558/908459544/pop_wm_1296910.jpg http://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/101558/908459544/pop_wm_1296900.jpg http://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/101558/908459544/pop_wm_1296904.jpg http://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/101558/908459544/wm_1296905.jpg It is also fugly as hell.
