Vorderlader-Zundhutchen Caps

[Undertow]

Gents,
A few years ago I inherited an unmentionable and in with all of the modern caps and slugs I found two tins of Vorderlader-Zundhutchen caps, some Speer .57 roundballs, a short starter, and a capper. I don't have any use for the caps nor do I ever plan to get into percussion rifles or pistols as I plan to order a Kibler soon. So my question is are the caps worth anything? It seems there old but I can't find much info on them. The metal tin is sealed and unopened, the plastic tin is open and contains 47 caps. I was thinking of throwing them on the buy/sell/trade forum to see if anyone had any flintlock gear they would want to trade for them as I have zero flintlock equipment but I don't know if the caps are even worth a rusty nail. Please excuse me if this isn't the correct forum and mods feel free to delete or move it to the percussion forum if needed.

Attached are pics.

Those are RWS caps made by Dynamit Nobel. They're good quality.

The problem is you can't legally ship them.

What does RWS stand for? And I guess if I cant ship them they'll go back into my misc gear pile.

From the RWS site...

The origin dates back to the year 1855. It was then that Heinrich Uttendoerffer began to produce ignition charges in his laboratory in Nuremberg. Three decades later, his laboratory was taken over by the „Rheinisch Westfälische Sprengstoff-Actien-Gesellschaft“ founded in Troisdorf in 1886, which explains the origin of the short form RWS.

Thanks for the info!
