Re: Rare 600 Nitro Tropical Tin

WOW!!

A really neat find!

As for "tropical packaging", not exactly .600 Nitro, but billions of rounds of 7.62x54R and 7.62x39 were, are and will be packaged in precisely the same way and lots has been sold here in the USA. In fact, the tin pictured would be difficult to distinguish from lots of Chinese ammo sold here in years past, and a devious fellow could indeed have a "Kynoch" sticker made up, weathered and plastered on a can of such ammo.

The weight of the package would be a dead giveaway to the savvy prospective buyer, but there might be a sucker or two that might take it hook, line and sinker.

Maybe a better scam would be to put a sticker on that says "240 Belted Rimless Nitro Express" or some such that might weigh more closely to the 7.62x54R ammo enclosed.

All that to tempt the owner of this treasure to get out his can opener and do a little investigating into the contents of that package...!!

Ain't I a stinker...
