Civil War Colt Revolving Rifle

Cartridge Wrapper (.56 Cal.)

 

Original Civil War–era paper cartridge package for Col. Colt’s Patent Revolving Rifle, printed “5 Cartridges – Made of Hazard’s Powder” and manufactured at Colt’s Cartridge Works, Hartford, Connecticut. Intended for the .56 caliber Colt revolving rifle, a limited-issue arm used during the early war period.

 

Package has been opened and contains no cartridges, as expected. Displays honest period wear with strong, legible printing. Original Colt revolving rifle ammunition wrappers are exceedingly rare, as paper packaging was typically discarded after use.

 

Incredibly rare packet and great display piece.
