WINCHESTER GREEN LABEL BOX OF .40 CALIBER, 370 GRAIN PAPER PATCHED BULLETS – FULL BOX w/ ALL 25 BULLETS - FOR SHARPS RIFLES:  A scarce and very collectable box of .40 caliber, 370 grain, paper patched bullets bearing the desirable Winchester Repeating Arms Company green label.  The standard loading for the Sharps .40-90 Sharps (Necked) cartridge introduced in 1876, the .40-90 Ballard (Straight) cartridge introduced in 1878, and the ..40-90 Sharps (Straight) cartridge introduced in 1885, these paper patched bullets would have been in the inventory of the dealers and hide buyers supplying the commercial buffalo hunters on the Western Frontier.  Complete with all 25 original paper patched bullets, this box is in very nice condition with a full, legible cover label and side banner as can be seen in the photographs below.  The box retains its full form, with all of the corners and edges intact.  This is a very nice specimen of a fairly scarce box of paper patched bullets manufactured specifically for the famous Sharps rifles out on the buffalo range and one that does not appear on the collector market very often.  This box will make a nice addition to display with your Sharps or Ballard Rifle.  (0912) $495
