Militia 9 hole Cartridge Box
« on: July 14, 2013, 03:29:04 AM »
Wanted a militia cartridge box that would meet the General Orders for the District of Mayne, Mass Bay Colony.  Something that might have seen use from the mid to late 18th century.  So few examples of ordinary militia items are available for study...that I made a leap of faith and designed this..

Cool! Looks very small and handy now that I see it with the lid open

7/8"  so it could work with a 12 gauge...
