For a nearly identical example from the George Neumann Collection, see the American shoulder box at the top of page 29 of "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann. Measures 10" x 4" x 2 - 3/4", flap measures 10" by 6 - 1/2". Deep pouch of black leather construction with a 24 hole block for .69 caliber cartridges with large bag space under the block. The oversized flap is engraved with tooled semi-circle designs and neatly executed initials "J.N.H." Flap retained by an inner tab and squared leather button. Complete with its original leather strap. CONDITION: An extremely nice American box and one that serious collectors would love to add to their collection. All components are original. Leather is still pliable, some crazing to surfaces and minor flaking. Body is very fine. Strap shows a couple minor 1/4" tears. In wonderful condition showing no attempts to clean or enhance. DMG
