| Nice Original Full Pack of 10- .50 Caliber Civil War Period Maynard Carbine Cartridges - w/Percussion Caps |
|
| Here is a Nice Original Packet of .50 Caliber Maynard
Carbine Cartridges ! Contains 10 cartridges & percussion
caps. Original twine tie still nicely intact, and paper in remarkably
good condition. Couple of areas where the big coin size base of
the cartridges have "poked" thru the paper, but they just allow you
to actually see that these are indeed the .50 Calibers. You can find
the single .50 caliber Maynards from time to time, but only Rarely
see Unopened Complete Packs ! Once I photographed this one
I sealed it in a crystal clear shrink wrap, for protection when being
shipped or on display. Of course, if you don't like it, it is easily
removed. A Great Item to display with your Maynard Carbine,
or excellent addition to that Civil War Cartridge Collection !

| Super Nice "Ely" 12 Guage Paper Cartridge for Percussion Shotgun |
|
| Here is a Neat Paper Cartridge for 12-Guage Percussion
Shotgun ! It's just a few years post-war, and manufactured by
Eley of London. One end has an orange tab that says, " 12 Guage
Bottom," and I suspect the other end has Eley's Patent Information,
though I am not going to try and open the paper envelope to see.
There is a dark brown cloth pull at that end, used before loading to
remove the brown paper envelope. This is likely one of Eley's
Improved Patent Wire Cartridges, which contained the shot inside
a wire mesh, designed to keep it together in it's initial flight.
Though not Civil War, it's Definitely An Early Percussion
Shotgun Cartridge, and A Conversation Piece in Any
Cartridge Collection !

| Original .58 Caliber Blank Paper Cartridge For Musket |
|
| Here is a Very Uncommon Original Blank Cartridge for .58
caliber musket ! You'll see several cartridge boxes full of original
paper Minie Cartridges, before you see another of these blanks.
Yet, according to Dean S. Thomas, in Round Ball To Rimfire, Vol.I,
p. 157, "Over 18 million musket or rifle blanks were manufactured
at the Federal ordnance facilities during the war, with over 10 million
of that number assembled at the Washington Arsenal alone."
This example is not regulation, but similiar to the non-regulation
example in Thomas book, Specimen #226, and like that example
tied closed with thread. I guess the reason they are so rarely
encountered today, is that most were consumed in training camps,
or discarded once regular ammunition was distributed. Very
uncommon Original Civil War Period Blank Paper
Cartridge for Musket !

For Colt Army .44 Revolver ! These are becoming uncommon,
but this example is still in excellent condition. Collidion is tight to
bullet, and whole cartridge is firm and stable. Though often simply
called a "Bartholow's Patent" cartridge, this example looks very
much like Specimen # 832 in Dean Thomas Book, Round Ball
To Rimfire, Part Three, Page 94. According to Thomas, #832 is
a Hazard's Powder Co. example, thus it's manufacture would
have been under the "Doremus & Budd" Patent. Hazard was the
second largest supplier of gunpowder during the war, and this
Nice Example of his cartridges, will be a Top drawer addition
to your Civil War Cartridge Collection !

| Very Nice Full Box Of Houllier-Blanchard, Paris, France, 12mm Long Pattern Pinfire Cartridges |
|
| These Full Boxes of the French Made Houllier Blanchard
12mm Long Pinfire Cartridges are getting hard to find !
Originally intended for use in the French LeFaucheux Pistols,
the cartridges were manufactured in Paris, France. The long
pattern cartridges are much less common than the short ones.
This Box is in Super Nice Condition, still retaining sharp
green & white crosshatch colors, with almost no scuffing or
even corner wear, and a crisp clearly legible label. It was
once held closed with small twine, which has been removed,
but ALL the cartridges are still intact. Perhaps intended
to be used, but then never was, which would explain the
wonderful condition. Label reads, "Cartouches, 12 millimetes,
Houllier-Blanchard, Arquebusier brevete, Paris, A Longue
Portee." Contents are 25 Long Pattern Pinfire Cartridges,
with an "HB - Paris" headstamp. A Super Item to Display
with Your Lefaucheux Revolver, or an Excellent Addition
to your Civil War Cartridge Collection. Box is Shrink Wrapped
for protection, but can easily be opened if desired. Some of my
photos may seem to show discoloration, but it is in fact glare
from that wrap. No discoloration whatsoever. Intact in a Super
Nice Original Box, but still priced much less than if you
bought the individual cartridges !

| Nice Paper Cartridge for .36 Colt Belt or 1861 Colt Navy Revolver |
|
| Here is An Excellent Example of the .36 Caliber Paper
Cartridge for Colt Navy Revolver ! It's a nice tight cartridge,
with good paper and only moderate oxidation on the bullet. A look
at Round Ball To Rimfire, Volume III, by Dean Thomas, this
cartridge most resembles Specimen #820 on page 80. Paper has
a couple of small splits, but is still tight to the bullet. Several creases
and folds but nothing loose or missing. The example in Thomas'
book is identified as manufactured by "Colt's Cartridge Works",
and for a Belt Pistol. Doubtlessly though, this cartridge would
work in both Belt Pistol, and the Colt Navy of 1861.
Just a Real Nice Cartridge of Colt Navy Caliber, that wll display
perfectly !
