US CIVIL WAR MISC. BLAKESLEE CARTRIDGE BOX  

Used with the Spencer Rifle & Carbines, the cartridge box allowed the shooter to carry several spare tubes of ammunition pre-loaded, making the job of refilling the magazine tube of the Spencer much faster.

Two main patterns were originally made...I make both versions.

Whichever of the two main types you require, they can also be modified in length to vary the number of cartridges you wish the tubes to hold.

I add a stamp to the lid of the box with some "period" data - such as the BLAKESLEE name, etc.

I can also add rifle serial numbers, etc.

Prices will depend on which version you require, as well as the other variables of how long you want the tubes to be & what caliber you wish the tubes to be made for.
