600 ammo of original Kynoch (Witton) vintage and older are quite rare nowadays, certainly here in the U.K, much of it was shipped to the US to collectors over the last 15 years or so. As a rough price guide, here in the U.K a solid with the Kynoch headstamp of late manufacture (the official line is that the last Witton loaded batch of ammo was run off in 1956, although there is evidecne that a later run specifically for Hollands was done in the late 1960's or even very early 1970's- these had white 5 round card packets rather than the usual red/yellow) these will sell for around £35 GBP per round.

Older headstamped ammo such as Eley will sell for significantly more, upto £70 per round and various bullet patterns will account for price variations also, again officially Kynoch never formally offered the round as a split nosed, but I have a packet of 5 rounds factory split rounds based on the ordinary nickel soft nosed bullet, the packet being marked for solids but with split nosed being manuscripted over the top, so although not advertised they did exist.

As for a sealed tropical tin with Axite loading, these must be exceptionally rare today, I have never seen one other than in a picture and certainly not for sale, if one did come for sale the price to a serious collector could be immense. I did buy a 10 round oringinal Kynoch box with yellow label of soft nosed .600's and given the box was in excellent condition that box cost me £350 five years ago, so as for the tin, it is anyones guess at the true value. There are plenty of tins of lesser calibres around still as these were always more common than the .600 bore.

If the tin were mine it would remain soldered shut as that is where the value lies, its original state.
