	I received this collection of original Sharps cartridges from my friends estate. Way beyond cool but in a 70's Formica box that was falling apart. Another post was looking for a ammo box and mentioned the guy made other products. That's how I found hampelswoodandproducts.com .Gerrod made this beautiful walnut box for me. I recorded the info on the back side for whoever is the next owner when I'm gone. Scott

	I kept it just like Charlie made it with his hand written cartridge labels.

	Beautiful display, and especially with Hampel's nice case. I've only recently become aware of Hampel's products, but have been on a bit of a spending spree with him, as his prices for quality custom display products are very good! His shipping can be a little expensive on single items, but reasonable if you're buying multiples at the same time and it's shared among them.

	Very nice. What holds the ammo in place?

	I'm not sure how they are secured. I assume glue but you don't see any evidence of it. That 50-70 cartridge appears to be a copper case. The lead is so oxidized it appears white in the photo. I had the case made so I could transfer the whole board just as Charlie made it.

	Great display. The 50-70 may be army issue gilding metal and not brass as the others are. I hope you do not mind but it looks better this way. resized 600x600

	Wonderful display! When did Charlie pass away? I totally lost touch with him when I moved away from that area.

The red felt background measures 12" wide x 11" high.

	Charlie's wife and son didn't have a place for these so I hung them inside of the New Braunfels Schuetzen Verein club house.

	Stretched it out 600x600 looks better now.
