Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 490-2767

Excellent flat top cartridge for the .44 Henry and M1866 Winchester rifles or the Colt, Remington, and Smith & Wesson revolvers. This scarce cartridge was manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company expressly for Liddle & Kaeding in San Francisco for the California market. Two groove bullet, copper case with headstamp of a raised "L&K" within a recessed circle.

In 1859, Robert Liddle and Charles van Buren Kaeding bought Bogart Brothers Sportsmen's Emporium with Kaeding being a silent partner. The name of the company changed to R. Liddle & Co. The name changed in 1866 when Kaeding became an active partner, thus becoming Liddle & Kaeding. By the mid-1870s, Liddle & Keading, were the largest firearms dealer in San Francisco. Not only a seller of firearms and other sporting goods, Liddle & Kaeding manufactured and repaired firearms, employing a number of gunsmiths, including Robert Liddle and his son James Henry Liddle. The name changed to Liddle & Co. when Kaeding left the company in 1889 and would remain Liddle & Co. until the company closed in 1898.

The Union Metallic Cartridge Company was in Bridgeport, CT. The company was a partnership of the well-known businessmen Schuyler, Hartley & Graham.
