grilledcheese Posted May 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2016 Hi, I found in some of my dad's things what I think is a belt case for holding a certain amount of powder. I would have guessed this to be from WWI or before from what it seems to be for, but it looks WWII to me. I am guessing if it was for powder it ought to be dated from before the Spanish American war or WWI at the latest. Can anyone identify it? The cylinders have a spring loaded cap that say Git...MFG Co. They are about 12" long and 5/16" diameter. The case appears to be canvas and holds 5 tubes. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted February 24, 2017 nobody has any thoughts? I figured somebody would have known something. I would have guessed this was used as a charge load for some kind of early large gun. anyone got any experience with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1Garandy Posted February 24, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 24, 2017 Any chance those could be an early cartridge "speed loader" for a rifle with a tubular magazine? Is the 5/16" the ID or the OD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
