cartridge labels

[hta1970]

When making Confederate "stamped" labels, be aware, these are really stenciled labels. Rather than trying to make a stamp or using computer graphics, a real easy and authentic way to make the labels is to make the stencil like the original and use that to get the right look.

I have only seen examples of these stanciled labels coming from the Richmond Arsenal. Richmond Arsenal also used printed labels.

For Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Columbus, Fayetteville, Lynchburg, Macon, Savannah and Selma I have only seen printed labels.

i was wondering if i did this right i think i did based on what i've seen but advice and criticism is welcome.

Nice job on the packs. I'd tie the packs using a single piece of string rather than two pieces. Also, attach the label either under the string or over top of the string. Check out this page for some great photographic evidence of how it was done

Those of us with Henry rifles have our rounds packaged in boxes of 50 or 100 that we make ourselves. The labels with “100 Cartridges” are black with gold lettering and are the earliest labels. Most of the “50 Cartridges” labels are a light green and were also used in 1862 and later. Some have manufactured their own label using the computer while I have been able to copy original labels. At any rate it looks more authentic and is what the Civil War soldier would have had. Generally Henry owners carried 150 to 200 rounds with resupply close at hand, at least for the 66th Illinois.
