Description:

This rare and desirable set would have been used by Western Cartridge Company's salesmen to display the plethora of military cartridges manufactured by Western. The set is contained in a black leatherette wrapped case lined with blue velvet. The inside of the lid is embroidered with the Western trademark and "MILITARY AMMUNITION". There is a loose velvet wrapped divider between the lid and the cartridges. The cartridges include some interesting pieces such as the 8ga. Cement Gun, .45-70 blank, electric blasting cap, primers and detonators, and an assortment of rifle and pistol cartridges ranging from .22 L.R. to 20 mm.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, the case showing very minimal wear on the exterior or interior and the cartridges showing equally minimal wear. A rare example of a Western military cartridge salesman's set!
