WWI ERA ARTIFACTS FOUND LOCALLY



This rare cartridge belt, designed as a complement to the "Model 1903 rifle," was found here in Vicksburg. It's prior owner probably participated in WWI, the "Great war." 
A number of unopened boxes of rare rifle cartridges were found along with the belt. The cartridges shown here were made by Winchester for a .41 caliber Swiss  rifle and are marked ".41 Swiss Smokeless Rim Fire." Additional cartridges are shown on the Adolph Rose Antiques website.
