SHARPS RIFLE 10 ROUND CARTRIDGE  PACKET MADE BY THE SHARPS RIFLE COMPANY – EMPTY BOX IN EXCELLENT CONDITION:   This original,  full form Civil War issue Sharps Rifle Cartridge packet once contained ten of the linen wrapped cartridges for the famous Sharps rifles and carbines.  Although now empty, it was very carefully opened and the varnished paper wrapper is complete with no loss and the packet retains the clear, bright complete label.  This is an excellent example of the packets of ammunition issued to 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, and is an excellent representative example for your display at far less cost than a full packet.  As the packet is empty, it could be shipped to collectors who cannot receive full packets of cartridges. SOLD

NOTE:  I have a Sharps Packet Label featured below in a separate listing.

 

 

SHARPS CARTRIDGE PACKET LABEL:  This original label is the front panel from an original Sharps .52 caliber Carbine ammunition packet manufactured by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company.  Purchased from a very old cartridge collection, this panel was unfortunately cut from the original packet and kept in a scrap book, as it was the custom at the time not to collect full packets; instead the labels were collected such as this one.  The original label was glued onto a piece of backing paper and I have left it as I found it.  Despite the loss of the original packet, this is a significant label for a well known cartridge and from a famous company.  SOLD
