kilgarvan Posted December 10, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2014 Hello all. Just picked this up from a fellow forum member (thanks to the seller). Looking for some more help on documenting this and any additional info. Mainly looking for somebody who might be able to provide a reference book showing the box with dates, use, etc. Here is what I found doing a Google search. Just need the same info from a published reference book. "Spanish-American War US Navy pistol cartridge box for the .38 caliber Colt Navy revolvers made from 1889 to 1903. USN embossed cover with interior wood block bored for cartridges (6 loose and 2 packs), snap fastened leather latch tab and belt loops all present. Teddy Roosevelt carried one of these revolvers that had been salvaged from the USS Maine. These boxes were common enough years ago but they are scarce enough now that reproductions are being made. From an historically important period in US history when the country stepped onto the world stage and began accepting our role as the important world power we were to grow into" Thanks!
