Many of the items delivered on Confederate blockade-runners were made in Great Britain. This is a British Enfield cartridge box purchased for shipment to the Confederacy. It could be carried either on the belt on by a sling worn across the chest. In addition to the Enfield cartridge boxes, large number of British Enfield rifles in .577 caliber were purchased for Confederate use. British war goods were usually extremely well made and sought after by Confederate soldiers.
