Model 1857 Style .69 Caliber Round Ball Bullet Cartridge Box with Sling
Click on an image to enlarge
Here is a great looking original Civil War soldier's cartridge box. What is cool about this box is that it is the version that is officially known as the model 1857 musket cartridge box that was made for the "round ball" cartridges. This means it would've been used to carry the cartridges for the smoothbore .69 caliber muskets used by the soldiers. The outer flap was made without a cartridge box plate but had one added and it appears to have been on there since the War. The box has a beautiful untouched attic or barn look all over. It is missing the original closure tab but still has the brass finial on the bottom of the cartridge box but I found it inside the box. On the bottom of the box it has both of the original roller buckles. When you open the outer flap you are greeted by the inner flap as well as the implement pouch inside. When you open up the inner flap you see one of the two original cartridge tins still intact. This is the compartment that would've actually held the cartridges in place for the soldier. On the back of the box it has all 4 of the original loops still intact. These boxes were designed so they could be used with the shoulder strap and also worn on the belt, whichever way the soldier preferred. It has the original leather sling remaining with a well worn look. This is a very nice original cartridge box for the 69 caliber smoothbore muskets that displays well.
