Authentic reproduction of a Civil War era Watervliet Arsenal 1864 pack of six .44 Army revolver cartridges with seven percussion caps, wrapped in a brown kraft paper outer sleeve secured with period-correct natural twine and bearing an aged orange label faithfully replicating the original Arsenal packaging. Each cartridge contains a .454" lead swaged ball over 28 grains of FFFG black powder in potassium nitrate treated paper, with the pack presenting a clean, tightly wrapped rectangular form with neatly folded ends. Overall condition is excellent, with the outer wrapping crisp and intact, the twine secure, and the label legible with no tears or deterioration.
