Civil War Era Whitney & Colt Revolver Cartridge Pack

Civil War Era Whitney & Colt Revolver Cartridge Pack Scarce Civil War era paper-wrapped cartridge pack labeled “Six Cartridges for Whitney’s or Colt’s Pistol, 31-100 Caliber.” The fragile original wrapper remains partially intact and retains strong readable printing, while several of the original combustible cartridges remain visible within the opened end of the packet. This desirable revolver ammunition pack exhibits honest period wear and handling consistent with age and field use. Such combustible cartridge packets were intended for percussion revolvers and represent an important advancement in mid-19th century firearms technology during the Civil War era. A highly displayable and increasingly difficult-to-find Civil War ammunition item that would complement any Colt, Whitney, or percussion revolver collection.
