Auction Only Available to USA Residents
Original Walnut case for a Colt Root revolver with a 3.5" barrel. Brass hinges. Corner partition contains an original red and black tin of U.M.C. no. 2 primers. Of the original count of 250, about half remain. Sadly, the other tree partitions no longer remain. Also the shield shaped brass lock face is gone. It would not take much to restore this box. The box is in good shape with minor scratches and rubs. Almost impossible to find these days.
