NICE OAK DISPLAY CASE CONTAINING NINE SEALED PACKETS OF FRANKFORD ARSENAL CALIBER 45 REVOLVER CARTRIDGES FOR THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY. Beautiful display in a custom green velvet lined oak casing with screw attached Plexiglas cover. Case contains nine orig sealed packets of twelve Frankford Arsenal caliber 45 revolver cartridges dated “1873” (the first year), “1874”, “1875”, “1876”, “1877”, “1878”, “1879”, “1880” and “1881”. Finding one of these packets was not uncommon except for the 1873 & 1874 dates. But in today’s world, finding nine consecutive dated packets is quite a feat, involving many years of pounding gun show aisles and searching auctions. Specimens found are seldom seen in this condition. CONDITION: All nine packets appear to be completely or partially sealed with clear legible labels except for the 1877 packet which is slightly worn and the 1875 packet which is missing a small sliver of the paper covering. Altogether a very beautiful display. Case is fine. 4-42273 JR63 (10,000-15,000)
