The 1850 Ord manual doesn't give the color coding, but the dimensions are IIRC the same as a .58 cal box.

Re: Ammunition Crates

In reading some of the messages in this thread, I have seen ordnance manuals mentioned. I am looking for the 1840 manual. Anyone know where I might find one?

Guys,

For comparison, here is an original August 1864 dated Richmond Arsenal ammunition crate.

John,

Do you have the measurements for that Richmond Arsenal ammunition crate? If not, do you know where I could get them?

Thanks,

Hallo Kameraden,
has anyone an Idea about the "Blue" Color of the .69er Box, light blue, skyblue or darker ? Any analogy to an "modern" tone, like the "Federal Standard 595" Colors ?

Re: Ammunition Crates

Just in case anyone is looking for it and cant find it - here is a link to a couple of photos of a St Louis Arsenal .69 ammo crate. Not painted, stenciled in black. and no fancy joinery. A picture is worth a thousand words! Just scroll down a short ways in the link-
