Excellent and fresh rendering of an old story. Especially the "magic" at the end with the Iwo Jima picture.
I have a 45 vinyl of the 1948 recording.

If you pick up brass at the range left by other shooters you have no way of knowing if or how many times it has been reloaded. Like others have said, inspect for splits in the mouth when you put it in the press for resizing and discard if necessary.
