    This belt is also offered as a complete belt with 1 - "C" Clasp for a buckle, 2 Flat C's and the brass end caps with C's (L21A).

     This is the Indian Wars pistol cartridge pouch for the M1873 Colt. It is nearly identical to the American Civil War Cap Box, except with US in oval embossed on the flap and no sheep's wool lining. Made of Black leather with two belt loops on the back. The originally had a wood block to hold the cartridges, but most troopers took them out so the cartridge box would hold a few more cartridges. With the wooden block it holds 6 cartridges, without the wooden block it holds about 10 cartridges.

     The maker I used for these died and I am looking for a new maker. In the mean time I am out of the one without the wood block. I do have some left with the wook block. You can remove the wood block if you want,just like theydid originally.
