This is a nice authentic Civil War percussion capbox. It is the leather pouch that would have held the soldier's percussion caps for his pistol, carbine or musket. This is the style made by C.S. Storms of New York and is so marked on the innermost compartment flap. The closure tab and brass finial are intact and nice. On the back of the box it has both of the belt loops are present. The inner flap is present as are one of the two ears on the sides of the flap are still present. On the innermost compartment it still has some of the lamb's wool. This wool was used to keep the caps from falling out of the box. This one displays well and you can see that it actually saw service.
