Rare, but rough M1874 Indian Wars Dyer Cartridge Pouch for .45/70 carbines and rifles. Also known as the 'Custer Pouch', the front flap reads: "US" in embossed letters - holes surrounding it may be from a state Guard plate attached a later time. The front flap closure also features a brass disc and a slide lock knob closure. The inside shows the inspector mark: "W. L. F." and the initials: "CD" or "OD" - these could be a company designation or owner's initials.
