"The 32 S&W Black Powder Manufactured by Savage Arms Corporation. This box has 1918 hand written on it."

Doug, I see no indication that Savage produced/sold black powder revolver rounds till the1923 ad. The red box ammo is the only listed and it was dropped when production switched to USCCo.

Savage, Savage caliber and some others while I was at it.
Questions on any? Fire away.
See a duplicate (250-3000 blue box) that may fill a hole? PM me.

I like to see it all very nice collection keep it coming.

Forgot the Western' s

Just looked through pricelists also. No black powder handgun cartridges until the Jan 2, 1923 pricelist. I checked 1920/1921/1922.

Some more boxes. Bullet boxes and a very scarce Savage primer tin. Also some original 303 savage with paper patched bullets including a UMC salesman dummy.

I could use some of those toy rifle balls!

Rick,



What is the marking on the back of the 300Sav box with the blue stick on it?

...and note the Bear boxes

...and note the Bear boxes 5 rows down.



The box on the left states Nickel Silver jacket, it is pre-WWII
The box on the right states Silver Colored Jacket and is post -WWII.

The green Remington boxes where the product number starts with a letter are pre-WWII while the all numeric coded ones are post-WWII.

Made in USA.

Reproduction. Designed so you can fill and seal.

The 4 styles of Cross Boxes. Book states 3 but there are 4. SVG, Blank, Early Chief, Last Chief. I think the Blank is second but not positive.

Looks like the ones 1899sav made

I think he bought them, filled and sealed. Caused a bit of a rough.

This is a Repeating Arms box. Note headstamp i "303 SRA Co". UMC produced the first .303s for Savage.

1st box has no label and is reported to be a House Brand box sold to Sears...?
2nd is a later (22HP) Corporation box.
3rd, this is the back of the box. I think this is the first Company box. Between the Repeating Arms and the later Moose Horn.

box

1st, Repeating Arms box
2nd (303) and the 3rd (32-40 HP) have same labels except the 303 says not to be reloaded while the 32-40 (production 1904 and later) says it can be reloaded.



Backs of the above



Ends of the above

From the left the 4 designs you will find on the two piece boxes:
Repeating Arms, no end seal
2nd is Company marked
3rd, I have this seal on both Company and Corperation marked boxes.
4th is on later Corperation boxes.

Top is last box design with the Warning label.
Lower is the 1st .300 Sav box design and would have been replaced by the 1924 design.

Small caliber rounds for the Model 23 family of rifles. 1931 and later production.
