Description
Very Scarce Civil War Volunteer Maine Militia .58 Caliber Cartridge Box with Sling and Both Plates including the VMM Box Plate and Scarce 58 mm Circular Eagle Plate. Distinctive brown leather box, made without belt loops, excellent with original tins. Just some chips on the edge of the inside flap and latch tab and minor crazing on the outside flap. VMM plate retains most of the original gold wash, the balance a deep dark patina. Sling very good with embossed line along the edges, crazing of the finish and some minor flaking but very sound and supple. Large initials "H. S." carved on one side, who was apparently a left hander as the eagle plate is now mounted on the right side of the sling with original cut for it on the left. Very nice "personalized" example of this very desirable equipment set.Auction Info
