.58 CALIBER METALLIC CARTRIDGES FOR THE EARLY US ARMY
CARTRIDGE CONVERSION RIFLES: These
cartridges were developed for the .58 caliber
conversions of Civil War rifles produced by the
Springfield Armory and civilian contractors in the post
Civil War years. Manufactured at the Frankford
Arsenal, these rimfire and internally primed centerfire
cartridges were used for a very limited period and are
quite scarce today. I have the following
cartridges available, each listed separately below with
accompanying photographs.

.58 CALIBER RIMFIRE BLANK CARTRIDGE FOR THE US ARMY 1ST
ALLIN MODEL 1865 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE:
A very nice specimen of the blank cartridge issued for
the .58 caliber Model 1865 1st Allin Conversion Rifle
produced by the Springfield Armory.
During the Indian Wars period blank ammunition was
regularly provided to the Infantry for ceremonial
occasions and funerals. The first of the primary issue
post-Civil War metallic cartridges and manufactured at
the Frankford Arsenal, these blanks were an integral
component of the standard issue of ammunition to the
frontier soldier and have a rightful place in any Indian
War ammunition display.
This important Indian War cartridge is quite rare in its
own right - probably the rarest of the Indian Wars era
blanks - this is the first of these blanks I've had in
many years. NOTE - I have just this one.
