Reproduction vintage Early Winchester .38 Colt Cartridge Box

Description: This is a reproduction of what is likely the earliest example of a .38 Long Colt box produced by Winchester. It shows the Colt Model 1877 (Lightning) and dates to the early to mid 1880's. It is distinguished by the two flourishes on either side of the text "Other .38 Caliber Pistols." These boxes are extremely rare in any condition and not even shown in the Giles & Shuey book. This reproduction is, of course, empty with the side wrappers sealed. However, you can cut the wrappers and open it for display if you'd prefer. The correct period reloading label is found on the inside of the box top. All of the boxes I've recreated all date to the 1860's - 1880's and are what collectors now, for obvious reasons, refer to as "picture boxes." These are not photocopies or printed from pictures I've Googled. These are high resolution, digital recreations. I have attached a picture of an original box for comparison. Buyer pays fixed shipping. Let me know if you have questions or need further pictures. Auction is for one box. ****UPDATE**** Due to the fluctuation in chipboard availability I'm being forced to limit my stock and make most cartridges boxes to order. Because of this, I'm having to extend my handling time to 5 days instead of 3. HOWEVER, most orders will continue to ship with in 1-3 days. But larger orders with multiple boxes may take 4-5 days. I will try to keep some of the better sellers on hand, but the availability of materials will ultimately determine what can be stocked. Thank you for your patience and don't hesitate to contact me if you need something quickly.
