Nice, as noted, yours is in fine shape, compared to most.

Mine, now long gone, was in much rougher shape, however it functioned well with original steel cased ammo.
IIRC, there were a couple of hangfires and dead primers in that box.
I managed to acquire two boxes, shot one stashed the other.
I also managed to get two boxes of "custom" cartridges (turned from .32 S&W) from an unremembered source.
These did not function as well as the original ammo, they were comparatively weak and some of the remanufactured cases were dimensionally off.
I had every intention to reload for it and managed to get my hands on a shell holder but the dies eluded me.
My efforts to substitute other caliber dies (.32ACP, .32S&W, etc, etc) proved unworkable, for me, so I eventually gave it all up.
These days, in the French weapons forum, there are sometimes group buys to get Lee to do a run of their die sets, often there are extra sets made and are for sale by the members there.
