Displays rather well despite its flaws! An original Federal Civil War cartridge box (regulation issue for .58 caliber ammunition) with super maker’s stamp "H. S.

Complete, flexible front and rear panels, with closing strap. Back has belt loops/sling guides. Leather rather decent but the box has been flattened. Front flap takes U.S. oval plate (not included) and retains about 85% of the original finish with fine cracking. Inner flap has good finish with worm tracks. Implement pouch has decent finish, about 40% worn with some worm tracks on one spot on top. One end panel is hinged out with broken stitching on one side. The other end panel is missing. Lacks half moon end cap on one side. Interior implement pouch is missing flap and closing strap. No tins or sling buckles. Reverse finish quite good with some luster, a few areas with some cracking. PRICED ACCORDINGLY! (#p2642)
