.50 FRANKFORD ARSENAL INTERNALLY PRIMED PISTOL CARTRIDGE FOR THE MODEL 1871 REMINGTON ARMY AND NAVY SINGLE SHOT PISTOLS:  Manufactured by the Frankford Arsenal and issued to the Cavalry soldiers during the early years of the Indian Wars with their Model 1871 Remington Army Single Shot Pistols and to the Sailors with their Model 1867 Remington Navy Single Shot Pistols.  These .50 caliber internally primed, center fire cartridges are fairly difficult to find on the loose and are an important addition to any Indian War cartridge display, as the last single shot pistol round in the United States military's inventory.

.50 CALIBER FRANKFORD ARSENAL AMMUNITION PACKET FOR THE MODEL 1871 ARMY REMINGTON PISTOL:   Issued during the Arms Trials of 1871-73, the Model 1871 Remington Army Pistols and these packets of Frankford Arsenal .50 caliber ammunition saw active service with the frontier army during the early post-Civil War conflicts with the Indians.   

As with the majority of these .50 caliber Remington Pistol cartridge packets, the label has had the corner with the date cut out.  The consensus through the years has been that the dates on these packets were removed by Bannerman's employees to hide the age of the ammunition.   

This packet has been opened on three edges of the top flap, which allows the top panel to be lifted to view the ten original .50 caliber internally primed centerfire cartridges.  The balance of the original panels and edges are intact, and the packet retains its shape and integrity.  The balance of the label is intact and the printing that remains is fully legible.    

In spite of being opened, this packet is still very displayable and is offered here at a good price.  (0308) $225
