CAPTURED NORTH CAROLINA CARTRIDGE BOX WITH SLING.

CAPTURED NORTH CAROLINA CARTRIDGE BOX WITH SLING. This is a classic Confederate brown leather cartridge box with its original leather sling. Nicely scratched into cover flap is “LM / Co A / 7 NCST”. We don’t know who LM is but we know he was in Company A, 7th North Carolina State Troops. Museum records do not tell us where it was captured or who donated it but it is indeed a classic box made for shoulder strap only with no provision for belt. CONDITION: Box overall is very good and complete. Both roller buckles are sounds and intact as is locking tab. Both tins are bright, nearly as good as issued. The tab and one of the inner flap sewn wedges is folded but both are intact and solid. Leather sling is complete though heavily crazed and flaking and has one 3″ to 4″ weak area but is still attached to box and no doubt is original to this box as donated to and now deassessed from the prominent N.E. Historical Society Museum. 4-35219 JS17 (4,000-6,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2008

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.
