Unissued US Army Case of .45-70 Ammunition from Span-Am War
Description:
This is a full case of UMC “GOVERNMENT STANDARD” .45-70 ammunition, shipped from Rock Island Arsenal on November 7, 1898, to Lt. Col. R. Birnie, Ordnance Officer, 7th Army Corps, Savannah, GA, according to the lid stenciling. The wooden crate measures 16 3/8” x 8 1/4” x 13 3/4” with a detached lid that has split into two pieces. The ammunition; brass cased, with .405 gr. RN lead bullets, is in excellent condition, although the paper boxes have deteriorated over time and begun to disintegrate along the exposed top of the crate. Lt. Col Rogers Birnie was an 1872 graduate of West Point and transferred from the Infantry to Ordnance in 1878, after having commanded the first scientific expedition to explore Death Valley and other areas of the Mojave Desert. He was instrumental in the establishment of America's first modern gun-making plant at Watervliet Arsenal, NY, becoming a world recognized expert in the field of artillery. During the Spanish-American War, he was Chief Ordnance Officer, first for the 7th Corps, and eventually for the entire Division of Cuba. Following the War, he was appointed Commanding Officer of the New York Arsenal,then of Sandy Hook Proving Ground, NJ. He was acting Chief of Ordnance from 1912 – 1913, during Gen. Crozier's temporary absence. He ended his Army career as the President of the US Army Ordnance Board. It should be noted that Col. Birnie was one of the founders of the National Geographic Society, and served as the first manager of the board of directors. He wrote a book on Gun Making in the United States, published by the War Dept. in 1907, and served as a civilian adviser to the US Army during World War I. Birnie died in 1939. This is an incredible piece of Spanish-American War history, that was addressed to one of the great figures in American ordnance, and exploration. Please note: the crate weighs 113 lbs. Extra shipping will be charged.
