"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.

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

Question on the primers: Are the individual primers marked? I have two boxes but neither is open. Wondering if they have a "S" stamp?
For those that might not know what they are looking at... bullet boxes, Savage Red Oil bottles, primer box, 2 packs of Savage toy rifle balls and a Savage desk sign. Partial ammo boxes at very top. I could use some of those toy rifle balls!
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

...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.

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.

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 Lower is the 1st .300 Sav box design and would have been replaced by the 1924 design.
