Box is for carrying the .69 elongated ball cartridge.

Outer flap is in excellent condition. The leather surface has minor scattered crazing throughout with some small creases from use near the lower corners. The slightly worn latch tab is solid and held to the flap by a single line of stitching. The box has a wonderful oval stamped brass, lead filled “OVM” plate. The letters are crisply stamped and the face has a pleasing light patina with light oxidation around the edges. The plate is free of any major dings, dents or scratches. Plate is held to the box by a leather thong that may be the original.

Inner flap has both ears, one is slightly curled. The leather surface of the flap is very smooth. Both tins are present with the dividers. Implement pocket is complete and in good condition. The underside of the implement flap bears a white ink blot with a black museum accession number.
