Step into the frontier legacy with this US Navy Indian Wars-era Trapdoor Springfield M-1879 cartridge box, an authentic piece of American military history! Crafted by Hitchcock of St. Louis, this original leather cartridge box was designed to hold powerful .45-70 Government rounds—ammunition that fueled the iconic single-shot Trapdoor rifles of the late 19th century. What makes this example truly special is its military provenance, with clear “USN” (United States Navy) markings and a single original .45-70 round still tucked inside—an evocative reminder of the sailors and Marines who once carried these into battle or aboard ship.

The condition of the leather is a testament to its quality and resilience, with the box retaining a pleasing, aged patina that only comes with genuine use and time. The stitching remains strong, and the Hitchcock maker’s mark is still crisply visible on the inner flap, adding collectability and authentication. Whether you're a serious Indian Wars collector, a reenactor, or simply someone who values tangible links to America's martial past, this cartridge box offers a rare chance to own a functional and display-worthy artifact from the era when the Trapdoor Springfield ruled the ranks.
