This is a great displaying Civil War leather box that held the percussion caps for muskets, pistols or carbines. This one is in very nice shape and has a very attractive look. It has both of the sewn style belt loops intact on the back of the box. On the outer flap it has the closure tab intact as well as the brass finial intact. If you notice this is the style of outer flap that is known to collectors as the "Shield" style front with the applied closure tab. This style is generally earlier in production. The inner flap is nice and has both of the "ears" present on the sides. On the inner pocket it has the lamb's wool removed. The wool was added at the factory to help keep the caps from falling out but soldier's often removed the wool to make the caps easier to get out. One thing that is neat about this box, is that when you turn it over, you see numerous triangular holes that appear to be bayonet tip holes. A bayonet tip fits perfectly. This is a nice displaying original classic Civil War percussion cap box. Item #: C1042 Shipping Weight:
