Civil War Auction
Lot 294:
Description
This M1864 cartridge box has been restored partly restored. The box has the metal boxes inside and the inspection stamp on outside right outer flap. It is our opinion that the shoulder sling is an old reproduction and the front plate too. It is our opinion, the box “US” is also a later made part. Both oval and front plate are lead backed and are secured with old rope twine. The box and strap show white mold which cleans off and most of the metal rivets show green verdigris. We welcome any comments and additional information regarding this lot. Opening bid and reserves are going to be generous to bidders.
