| Very Nice Full Box Of Houllier-Blanchard, Paris, France, 12mm Long Pattern Pinfire Cartridges |
|
| NEW !
These Full Boxes of the French Made Houllier Blanchard
12mm Long Pinfire Cartridges are getting hard to find !
Originally intended for use in the French LeFaucheux Pistols,
the cartridges were manufactured in Paris, France. The long
pattern cartridges are much less common than the short ones.
This Box is in Super Nice Condition, still retaining sharp
green & white crosshatch colors, with almost no scuffing or
even corner wear, and a crisp clearly legible label. It was
once held closed with small twine, which has been removed,
but ALL the cartridges are still intact. Perhaps intended
to be used, but then never was, which would explain the
wonderful condition. Label reads, "Cartouches, 12 millimetes,
Houllier-Blanchard, Arquebusier brevete, Paris, A Longue
Portee." Contents are 25 Long Pattern Pinfire Cartridges,
with an "HB - Paris" headstamp. A Super Item to Display
with Your Lefaucheux Revolver, or an Excellent Addition
to your Civil War Cartridge Collection. Box is Shrink Wrapped
for protection, but can easily be opened if desired. Some of my
photos may seem to show discoloration, but it is in fact glare
from that wrap. No discoloration whatsoever. Intact in a Super
Nice Original Box, but still priced much less than if you
bought the individual cartridges !

| Very Fine Civil War .56 Caliber Billinghurst-Requa Battery Gun Cartridge |
|
| Here is an Excellent Example of the .56 Caliber Cartridge
for the Billinghurst Requa "Battery" Gun. The Gun had 25
barrels lined up in a row, that all fired simultaneously in a volley.
The cartridges were affixed in a metal stip so that all 25 could be
loaded at once, and extracted together after firing. Though not
nearly as effective as the Gatling Gun, the Billinghurst actually
pre-dated it, and several were ordered during the Civil War.
Cartridge is in great condition with nice case and bullet, primer
hole still clear at the base, and completely tight. A sharp
cartridge for your Civil War Collection !

| Nice Paper Cartridge for .36 Colt Belt or 1861 Colt Navy Revolver |
|
| Here is An Excellent Example of the .36 Caliber Paper
Cartridge for Colt Navy Revolver ! It's a nice tight cartridge,
with good paper and only moderate oxidation on the bullet. A look
at Round Ball To Rimfire, Volume III, by Dean Thomas, this
cartridge most resembles Specimen #820 on page 80. Paper has
a couple of small splits, but is still tight to the bullet. Several creases
and folds but nothing loose or missing. The example in Thomas'
book is identified as manufactured by "Colt's Cartridge Works",
and for a Belt Pistol. Doubtlessly though, this cartridge would
work in both Belt Pistol, and the Colt Navy of 1861.
Just a Real Nice Cartridge of Colt Navy Caliber, that wll display
perfectly !

| Very Fine Paper Cartridge for Hall Carbine. |
|
| Here is a "Sweet" little .64 Caliber Hall Carbine Paper Cartridge !
Entire cartridge is very nice with red/white twine still good and tight,
as is the whole cartridge. Tan paper has very light superficial stains,
hardly noticeable. The ball mics out right at .650, paper and all, and
bullet alone would probably be closer to .640. The diameter matches
exactly the example shown in Dean S. Thomas book, Round Ball
To Rimfire, Part One, on page 111. In his remarks, Thomas notes;
"Red and white string, authorities disagree on the identity of this
cartridge. It is believed to be for either a .69 cal. converted pistol
or the .64 cal. Hall's Carbine." Interesting to know, as almost
every time I have encountered this cartridge it is identified as Hall's
Carbine, and I have always thought of it as such. Whichever it is,
this specimen would be near impossible to upgrade, and will
look sharp in anybody's cartridge collection !
