SPENT CARTRIDGES FOUND IN A CACHE AT FT McCREA(sp?), New Mexico Territory. The upper six cases are 50-70 Martin primed that were fired from a trapdoor leaving the angled firing pin indentation. The short cases without an R or C designation are Frankford Arsenal blanks used at the fort. The four rifle and carbine cases were found in the same cache. All were made at Frankford Arsenal and the angular indentation from the firing pin means they were all fired from a Springfield trapdoor. All for $20 + S/H.
