Re: cartridge labels

Has anyone seen an arsenal pack label from any Texas arsenal? Like San Antonio?

I'm making rounds for the upcoming "Maryland My Maryland." I've been looking for the correct .69 Cal Labels to use? Started to search here, but no luck yet. Thanks for any direction.

Re: cartridge labels

Jeff,
I used the pic that was posted early in this thread of a 69 Cal Buck and Ball pack label. Since the Richmond arsenal stenciled their packs I had a rubber stamp made from Rubberstamps.net it only cost $10 or so and I’ve just been using that. I found this easier than the stencil I attempted some time ago.

I was just looking for the same thing. If I'm reading the other threads correctly, it appears that St. Louis Arsenal was the only federal arsenal still placing labels on the packs during the war.

Andrew,

Yes St Louis was the only Federal Arsenal that was still labeling their packs. Waht I dont know is When the other federal arsenals stoped labeling their packs, or if any pre war made packs made it into the ranks as late as 62'
