SHARPS RIFLE & CARBINE 10 ROUND CARTRIDGE PACKET
MADE BY THE SHARPS RIFLE COMPANY - COMPLETE & SEALED –
VERY NICE: This original, complete Civil War
issue Sharps Rifle Cartridge packet, containing ten
cartridges and twelve percussion caps, is full form, and
bear a clear, bright complete label. An excellent
example of the packets of ammunition issued for both the
Sharps Rifles and Carbines on the far reaches of the
Dragoon era frontier west, through the Civil War, and in
the early years of western expansion following the War,
this paper wrapped packet is in excellent condition with
all the seams intact, having not been opened. The packet
is wrapped in heavy protective plastic. Note that
the black line visible at the top of the packet as seen
in the fourth photograph below is not an open seam, but
rather the black border line of the label as it folded
over that edge. Full ammunition packets for any of
these early carbines and rifles are becoming
increasingly difficult to find, and in particular these
popular Sharps packets have all but disappeared from the
current market. (C 10) $1250
