speeder3 Posted March 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2018 Hello, A local gun shop has a McKeever-style cartridge box for sale that has "USM" embossed on the front. I've usually seen "US" or "USMC", or state initials, etc.. The box is black leather with loops for (I presume) .30 cal. ammo. I couldn't find any manufacturer's markings or other clues. My internet searches have not turned up any useful information about this item, and I'd like to know more about it before I make an offer. Thanks for your help.

warguy Posted March 5, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2018 Early version of the Marine Corps McKeever cartridge box. Well documented in a few resources, most notably Tulkoffs "Equipping the Corps". Ones in very nice shape to for around $400, give and take a bit. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
