Z9212 Italian 20 Ga. "Savage Shells” Shotshell by B.P.D.

Description: Nice example of a 20 gauge new primed empty (NPE) shotshell manufactured by Bombrini & Parodi-Delfino (BPD) of Rome, Italy. This specimen features a tan paper case with bold black case wall print bearing the distinctive "SAVAGE SHELLS” logo, showing a Native American with feather headdress.

The shell is constructed with a low brass cup, brass battery cup, and a large copper primer. Condition remains excellent, with crisp graphics and only light handling wear.

These "Savage Shells” have long been popular with U.S. collectors due to their striking logo design and strong visual appeal, making this an especially desirable example for anyone interested in vintage European-made shotshells imported into the American market.
