FRANKFORD ARSENAL INTERNALLY PRIMED .45/70
CARTRIDGES - CARBINE AND RIFLE - HEADSTAMPED "C" AND "R":
These internally
primed .45/70 cartridges were manufactured at the
Frankford Arsenal and have
clear, legible headstamps in the “F R or C Month Year”
format. These very nice early Indian War era cartridges
will add significantly when displayed in a Prairie
Belt, Woven Mills Belt, or a Cartridge Box in your
collection. As with all of the early ammunition, these
internally primed cartridges have begun to disappear
from the market and are increasingly difficult to find.
I have the
following internally primed headstamped cartridges
in stock, and each is listed and priced individually below with
accompanying photographs.

FRANKFORD ARSENAL INTERNALLY PRIMED RIFLE CARTRIDGE -
500 GRAIN BULLET: Shown here with the
standard rifle cartridge for comparison, these fairly
scarce internally primed Frankford Arsenal .45/70 rifle

manufactured in the early 1880's. In
excellent condition, I have a number of these with
various month headstamps from 1880-1882. I will
attempt to select dates of your choosing if you let me
know your preference. (0614) $35

FRANKFORD ARSENAL INTERNALLY PRIMED RIFLE CARTRIDGE -
FIRING PIN STRUCK: Internally primed
Frankford Arsenal .45/70 cartridges with the "R" rifle
headstamp. Attempts were made to fire both of
these cartridges, evidenced by the firing pin strike.
Headstamped as shown in the photo below, this would
still make good cartridges for a display. $15

FRANKFORD ARSENAL INTERNALLY PRIMED RIFLE CARTRIDGE -
INERT DISPLAY CARTRIDGE: Internally primed
Frankford Arsenal .45/70 cartridges with the "R" rifle
headstamp. These cartridges were rendered inert
for attaching to a display board by drilling the holes
shown in one side of the cartridge, the powder charge
was removed, and the primer was deactivated.
Apparently at one time, this was a method employed by
some cartridge collectors to prepare cartridges for
attaching to a display board. Still appearing
intact on one side and with a legible headstamp as shown in the photo below, this would
still make good cartridges for a display. Have four of
these.
