RARE FULL SEALED BOX OF CARTRIDGES FOR THE COLT RICHARDS CONVERSION REVOLVER.

Rare U.S. Cartridge Co. box of 50 cartridges in Cal. 44 center fire with yellow top label with black lettering and a line drawing of the Colt Model 1860 Army Richards conversion revolver. Label is marked “CENTRAL FIRE METALLIC CARTRIDGES / FOR / COLT’S NEW BREECH-LOADING / ARMY REVOLVER”. Box has a faded blue band with similar printing. Since the Richards & Richards-Mason conversion revolvers were produced only from 1873-1878, it can be assumed that cartridge boxes with this revolver pictured also had a short production life. Regardless, this is a very rare box, still sealed with orig ammunition. CONDITION: Fine. Top label is lightly faded with light soil and has a couple of small chips with a few small spots of wear not affecting the image. Band is moderately faded with a small water stain on one end, about 1-1/2″ of open seam and a small break on one side. Altogether a rare & desirable box suitable for inclusion with a cased revolver. 4-50313 JR322 (3,750-4,750) – Lot 2225
