Macon Arsenal Pistol Cartridge Box Civil War

Description

Copied from an original which recently sold, this Macon Arsenal pistol cartridge box is an example of one of the most under-represented items of cavalry equipment on the market.  These boxes were used by officers and cavalrymen to carry prepared packages of cartridges for use with the pistol. This piece has a pointed pewter finial, where the original item had a nail for a simple closure device. Either a field repair or a makeshift piece due to lack of supplies at the arsenal. Dimensions, 5 3/4 wide, 3 3/4 deep, 1 inch thick. Quality American leather, hand cut, hand dyed, and hand sewn as were the originals. Shop around and check prices of hand done equipment cut from patterns off originals, compare, check my feedback, then bid with confidence. No more authentic, hand done equipment available at these prices. Most items ship next day USPS, Paypal please.  "THIS AIN'T NO MUSEUM, THI STUFF IS FOR SALE!"
