L449.    regulation .58 caliber cartridge box in good condition, the outer leather is strong with minimal crazing, it is slightly dry, the inner flap has a great J. Boyd and Sons marking, it is a large marking being 3" wide x " tall, the stitching is intact, the roller buckles and closure tab are MIA as are the tins, has the  U S box plate which is in great shape, for some unknown reason the soldier punched 6 very small holes in the bottom corners of the outer flap, displays well

L448.    Model 1851 sword belt plate on belt, the plate is in good shape, it is an enlisted man's or NCO's style with the early style one piece applied silver wreath, shows wear but still has strong detail, doesn't look like it has been cleaned since the war and has light dirt in the recesses giving it a tan appearance, the reverse has the long, narrow tongue and is bench marked 215, it fits the keeper well, but I believe they are a marriage, the belt is strong and pliable with slight crazing, the brass adjuster was lost and the belt is sewn together at that point, the drops are MIA, nice rig that no doubt saw a lot of use but still displays well

L433.    Model 1864 .58 caliber cartridge box with it's original sling in good condition, the leather is strong with minimal crazing, it is a little dry, the outer flap has the embossed U S within an oval, it was also cut for a plate at some time, has the original tins, it also has it's original sling that has had the shoulder plate removed, it has a way cool repair where the ends that affixed to the roller buckles were replaced with sword drops, these were riveted onto the main sling, overall a well used box with a lot of character

L420. carbine boot to be used on a McClellan saddle in excellent condition, the leather is strong and pliable, all stitching is intact, used along with a carbine sling, as nice as I've ever seen

L417. pistol cartridge box in great condition, the leather is strong and pliable with very little crazing and virtually no finish loss, the stitching is tight, belt loops and closure tab are also in great shape, it has either a maker's mark or inspector's mark in the inside of the flap that I can't quite make out, great box that stands tall on it's on, or will look great with your revolver
