CIVIL WAR ERA D. C. SAGE & Co. .36
CALIBER SKIN CARTRIDGE PACKET FOR THE COLT’S NAVY PISTOL
REVOLVER – COMPLETE LABEL – EXCELLENT SEALED SPECIMEN:
This is an original Civil War era packet of .36 caliber
skin cartridges manufactured by the D.C. Sage & Co.
ammunition company of Middletown, Connecticut. While
the label specifically states “FOR COLT’S NAVY PISTOL”,
this six round packet is of the type issued with any of
the .36 caliber revolvers of that period.
This packet is in “like new” condition, showing no signs
of wear or aging, and with the wrapper completely
intact. The pull string is still present and still
anchored under the wrapper. This is truly a special
example.
Civil War era cartridge packets are becoming more and
more difficult to find in any condition and finding one
in this condition is particularly notable. In spite of
the quantities of these packets that were produced,
surviving specimens are becoming harder and harder to
find, and this is would be an excellent packet to add to
a cased set with your Colt Navy Revolver or any of the
percussion .36 caliber pistols.
