The postwar frontier army was armed with conversions and modifications of Civil War arms to metallic cartridge arms into the 1870s. Just about every US rifle or carbine cartridge box of the period has a small separate implement pouch for the gun tools, oily rags, etc., necessary for the cleaning and maintenance of the soldier’s weapon. About 90 percent blue remains.  [sr]
