Offered here is a very rare, full, 50-count box of Union Metallic Cartridge Co. manufactured .44-40 CF cartridges with lid label marketing them for Colt's "New Lightning Magazine Rifle and Frontier Revolver". This specific box of cartridges is pictured on p. 306 of The Colt Heritage" by R.L. Wilson, where it is shown alongside a factory engraved Colt Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Army Revolver. The box is primarily of maroon card construction with a white label and black text. The label on the lid also features the U.M.C. address and an image of the Rampant Colt trademark. The box retains its full compliment of cartridges.
Condition: Fine, retaining almost all of the label on the lid, some mild handling/storage wear overall, mostly absent side labels, and the factory seal broken. This is a rare U.M.C. box with its full compliment of cartridges!
