Headstamp shows : IVI 71 - IVI Industries Valcartier Inc. (1977–present) - Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec, Canada. In 1935,

Honestly... for just 5 rounds, with a dubious storage record... I'd pull them down, more out of curiousity about the powder condition.

I've fired ammo dirtier than that with no issues.

Five rounds? I might wipe then with alcohol and just save them for the uncommon headstamp.
