Hallo!
Danke lads, for the help from the other folder. I appreciate it.
I just news that my favourite horse, a almost 40 year old paint named Cherry fell for the last time and could not get up, and had to be killed.
So I am a bit sad.
I have Malloy's/Thomas'/White's PERCUSSION AMMUNITION PACKETS: UNION, CONFEDERATE, & EUROPEAN.
Thanks to them, and a few on-line sites I can scan, and reproduce a bewildering number and all manner of crisp and like-new "labels" 'til the cows come home
Where I am lacking is that I do not own any packets myself, to be able to measure the dimensions of the packets themselves so that I/we can make the drilled wooden blocks that go inside to hold the paper cartridges and sometimes the percussion caps.
I was also holding out hope that a vendor/sutler might have already produced high quality repro "labels/wrappers" and save me the work.
;) :)
To prevent fraud and counterfeiting, Malloy/Thomas/White do not reproduce their images to be life size. NOR do they cite dimensions. One assumes they are life size, but they warn they are just "close."
On the one hand, I can fudge and extrapolate the size of the packets and let "close enough" be "good enough" for reproducing them as "who is going to know the difference."
But...
;)
This is going to sound negative and critical, and maybe it is, but has NOT the cavalry or mounted community kept pace with the infantry when it comes to carbine and revolver ammunition?
:(
Thanks again for those who helped!
Miss you Cherry.
