Frazier's Patent 50-70 cartridge box

[Fred]

I just today obtained this cartridge box for 50-70 Springfield. It has I think a New York National Guard plate on it as most I've seen seem to have. It's smaller and more compact than I thought it'd be.
I really like it!
Didn't the New York National Guard use the long barreled Remington Rolling Block Rifles with the high hammer spur?

Yes, NY used its own unique configuration Remington rolling block rifle in .50-70 Government. It has a 36" barrel, and a notably high hammer.

Does it have the wooden block inside? Bored for 18 rounds, and sloped so that heads don't overlap.

Yep, I figured it had a block in it for 50-70 and told him so. That's when he measured them and saw that I was right.

$199.99
