Description
Very fine - Near, Mint Early War .58 Caliber Cartridge Box, and brown buff sling with excellent period ID to a soldier in Co. C. 10th Mass. Inf. Box near perfect, just some chips to the interior finish. The box exhibits an embossed line around the border of the front flap and large tool marks, original tins. Oval US box plate with nice untouched patina. Brown buff sling about perfect and cut for the eagle plate. At two points on the underside of the front flap the box is ink stenciled with a soldier's name and "Company A/10th Regt./Mass." The soldier's name is partially visible on both stencilings and careful research will doubtless reveal his ID. The 10th Mass. was engaged at The Seven Days, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville, as well as The Wilderness and Spotsylvania. Scarce early box in great condition with nice period ID.Auction Info
