Original US Civil War-era Union Officer’s Cavalry cartridge box, featuring the distinctive “A” Co. designation and crossed sabers brass insignia. This black leather cartridge box was an essential piece of field equipment for a Union cavalry officer, designed to store ammunition securely during active duty.

The cartridge box includes its original brass fittings and hardware, with a decorative crossed sabers emblem on the flap. The strap that secures the flap is broken into two pieces, as shown in the photos, but the overall structure of the box remains intact.

The leather exhibits surface cracking and wear consistent with its age and use in the field. The brass components retain their original finish and display a beautiful aged patina. The interior shows evidence of period use.

The dimensions of the box are approximately 7 inches wide and 5 inches tall. It includes belt loops and functional brass hooks for mounting.

This piece is an authentic artifact from the Civil War and a fine addition to any collection of 19th-century military memorabilia.

CONDITION:
Good antique condition with wear consistent with its age and use. The leather shows surface cracking, particularly on the flap and edges. The strap that secures the flap is broken into two pieces.
