     This is the Indian Wars pistol cartridge pouch for the M1873 Colt. It is nearly identical to the 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. We DO NOT offer the wood block.

    Style C: This is the same belt as Style A, but also has the u-shaped 45 long colt shell holder on the bottom left side.

     Style A & B can be purchase as Belt Only or with either the M1851 Eagle Buckle or the M1874 US Buckle. Style C can be purchased with either buckle, but is not available with no buckle.

    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 Version). This belt will fit up to a MAXIMUM waist size of 42" or possibly 43" (the maximum usable length of the belt is 45" to 46"). Total length of the belt is about 50". This is the same belt as the 30/40 Krag belt, except for having the 45/70 belt loops.

    NOTE: If you want the Mills Buckle for this version of the belt, it will need to be ordered separately, as it DOES NOT come with this belt.

      This is the same belt as the Mills Cartridge Belt, except with the black leather and brass buckle as shown. It holds 45/70 cartridges. The belt loops on our reproduction are sewn on, not woven into belt as the originals were. There are 36 to 40 loops on the belt, depending on the size of the belt. The buckle attaches to the outside of the loop, not on the bar that the tongue attaches to.
