This is a nicely priced authentic Civil War percussion capbox. It is the leather pouch that would have held the soldier's percussion caps for his pistol, carbine or musket. The outer flap still has the remnants of the oval stamping of the U.S. Ordnance department inspector. He approved the box for military use. The flap has the flaking but displays well. The closure tab is present and the brass finial is intact and nice. On the back of the box it has both of the belt loops are present. The inner flap is present as is one of the ears on the sides of the flap. On the innermost compartment it has had the lamb's wool removed long ago. This is a very nicely priced Civil War percussion cap box.
