McKeever cartridge box

[444 Magnum]

Hey everybody. Just joined and this is my first post.

I have this McKeever cartridge box and I'm trying to identify the type. I read through a thread under the Indian Wars section that had identifying information for the .45-70 and .50-70 boxes. I didn't see my box so I'm wondering if it's a later box that was designed for the .30-40 Krag.

It is stamped Rock Island, not Rock Island Arsenal. Inspectors mark looks like J.H. 

Any help is appreciated.

I tried to edit my post but wasn't able to.

 

Inspector's mark appears to be J.H.

 

Thanks for any help.

You have the last 45-70 type which was produced starting in July 1884.  This is a type 6 with the Acorn Stud, no brass escutcheon, and the canvas webbing replaced with canvas duck.
