WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS
“CARTRIDGE PICTURE” LABEL - .50-95 CARTRIDGES
FOR THE MODEL 1876 RIFLE - FULL BOX - GREEN LABEL:
This box bears the very collectable “Cartridge Picture”
green label, which features an image of the cartridge
with the “.50-95 WINCHESTER EXPRESS” legend superimposed
on the cartridge. First introduced in the 1879
catalog, this cartridge was the first commercial .50
caliber cartridge developed by Winchester.
The two piece
square cornered
box is
complete and full form. The top and front labels are
complete, the printing is intact, and the edges of the
labels have only some minor shelf wear. The box is very
solid with no open seams and the box retains its shape
with sharp edges.
The box contains 20
original Winchester headstamped .50-95 cartridges, all
have the proper headstamp – “WRA Co. .50-95 EX”, and all
are loaded with the correct flat tipped, conical bullets
with the copper cup “X” embossed inserts. All twenty
rounds are matching and all appear to be original to the
box.
This is a rare offering of
a very desirable Winchester cartridge and this box will
display nicely with your Model 1876 Winchester Rifle.
