U.S. Spanish American War U.S. Navy .38 Cal Pistol Cartridge Box with Wood InsertThis is an original U.S. Spanish-American War U.S. Navy Pistol Cartridge Box for the .38 caliber Colt Navy revolvers made from 1889 to 1903. USN embossed cover with interior wood block bored for cartridges (6 loose and 2 packs), snap fastened leather latch tab is damaged and belt loops are all present and in good condition. Teddy Roosevelt carried one of these revolvers that had been salvaged from the USS Maine. These boxes were common enough years ago but they are scarce enough now that reproductions are being made. From a historically important period in US history when the country stepped onto the world stage and began accepting our role as the important world power we were to grow into.
