Frankford Arsenal Packet of 12 .44 Caliber "Martin" Primed Smith & Wesson's's Army Revolver Cartridges,1871

Description:
This offering is a rare military item from days gone by. It is a sealed, never been opened box of 12 shrink-wrapped Martin-primed (the predecessor of Benet priming) .44 S&W's Army Revolver (aka .44 S&W American) cartridges from the U.S. Frankford Armory in Pennsylvania. This packet is dated August of 1871 and could be one of the earliest of those manufactured after the National Armory was decommissioned. It is sealed and the the pull-string is in the right place. It is an outstanding piece of history that is deserving of a place in the best of collections.  We acquired this packet from a highly respected collector and author in the vintage ammunition field, whose word countless people have relied on in their own collecting efforts. The box is sold as a collector's item only, not to be fired nor attempted to be fired under any circumstances whatsoever. High therefore assumes all liability for the result of firing or attempting to fire the cartridges in the sealed box in this listing. There is no return privilege for any factory sealed ammunition. Thanks for looking.
