M1864 Cartridge Box, Cap Pouch and Waist Belt

The cartridge box contains 2 tin liners, each large enough to hold 2 packages of 10- .58 cal. paper cartridges each.  The flap has "US" embossed on the flap.  The previous model had a brass plate.  The cap pouch is fleece-lined where the caps were held loosely.  The pouch also held a cone pick.

Our specimen is stamped on the back "S.H. YOUNG & CO. NEWARK N.J.".  The cap pouch has an unreadable stamp on the outside flap.  The fleece is intact and contains a cone pick.  The buckle is brass.
