M1902 "MCKEEVER" STYLE CARTRIDGE BOX
, (Inv no 0844) based on the M1874 box for the Springfield Trapdoor Rifle in .45/70 Government Caliber. It was a well-liked design, so after the U.S. Army Adopted the Springfield Krag–Jørgensen in .30-40, they made a new version for the smaller .30 caliber cartridge. As the bullet diameter and case size were similar to the new Springfield .30-03 and .30-06, the pouches continued to be used during the Pre-WWI years, and even in WWI during training.
This example is complete and in very good condition. Would be in very good to fine condition except for missing leather in bottom. Would still display well. Brown leather box “hinged” at the bottom with a brass rod. Leather closure tab fastens to brass finial on the top. Tab is complete and unbroken, though it does have some cracking. Two narrow belt loops sewn and riveted to the back. “U.S.” stamped within an oval in center of front flap. Canvas loops to hold ten .30cal cartridges sewn to each half (20 rounds total) for a Krag or Springfield rifle. There is also a space on the side for a ruptured cartridge extractor. Stitching remains strong and tight.
Starting price is .95. Shipping weight is 2 pounds 8 ounces.
