CONFEDERATE CAP BOX.

CONFEDERATE CAP BOX. This classic, single-strap, Confederate cap box, according to Mr. Michel’s notes, is a little larger than usual, and there are features of this cap box which cause it to resemble the English cap boxes furnished with imported Enfields. The finial has had the point visibly and deliberately cut off. Apparently this was done contemporaneously with its use, undoubtedly like the habit of turning up the flap on cartridge boxes for the ease and access. CONDITION: Surfaces of box are good and solid, with some crazing and mottling. Most orig surface is present. Box is a bit compressed with one ear coming loose from inner flap but still partially attached. Tab is complete and solid. Remnants of wool are still present. 4-31422 JS45 (800-1,200)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
