Again Sgt Chapman superb work.  The photo looks like it was professional done for an advertizement

[SGT John Chapman]

Nope,....I do everything I do by myself under the ever watchful Eye of a very mean 6 year old little girl,........she's a slave driver.....

Does anyone know what the .45ACP cartridge boxes looked like in the 1911 period? Thought I would like to make some or find a vendor who does. Does anyone have a colored photo of the box art. That would work for me. Thought it would be nice to have a dozen or so for the matches.

A good source of pictures and information on this if you can find a copy or get it through a library is The Pitman Notes on U.S.Martial Small Arms and Ammunition Vol.2. By Brig.Gen. John Pitman.Pictures are B&W but it gives box dimensions and thicknesses and picture of label.
