U.S. Mexican War Cartridge Box Sling

White Buff Leather (Infantry)

Item Last Updated: Friday, 15-Mar-2024 13:46:57 MST

Infantry Cartridge Box Sling, Regulation
White Buff Leather
Infantry Cartridge Box Sling, Regulation
White Buff
     One piece 72" long white buff leather belt with holes, to attach to the cartridge box buckles, at either end. This belt is rough side out and smooth side in. It is not made from a split leather, but from standard belt type leather specially tanned as buff leather. It is white all the way through, not just dyed white. This is a 6 to 8 ounce leather and is as thick or thicker than the American Civil War cartridge box slings available from many sutlers.

    This REPRODUCTION Leather item is Made in the USA. This a quality reproduction item made as close as is modernly possible. Sewing is done by machine to keep costs down (except where hand sewing is required). The leather is oiled, except for the White Buff Leather and the Enameled Leather, (usually Neatsfoot Oil) to protect it, but is usually soaked in by the time you receive it (we do not use Neatsfoot Oil Compound as it can damage stitching).

    Our Russet Leather Oak Tanned Leather. It is not dyed, it is the natural color from the tanning process. Color will vary with lot. It will darken with age. If you want to speed up the process leave it outdoors in the sun on a hot day. Also the more you oil it the darker it will become. There is a very good article about 1800s russet by David Jarnigan and Ken Knopp at www.jarnaginco.com/fair%20leather.pdf.

    Pictures of the item on this page are pictures of the item we sold. All pictures of items we sell are Copyrighted, either by us or our supplier of the item.

    This is not a costume that is made using modern construction or components that did not exist during the time of its original usage (IE: chicago screws, etc.). Beware of fakes, especially ones using images stolen from this site (Copyright Infringement).

M1874 Pistol
Cartridge Pouch
(45 Colt)
     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.
