Features:
This original cardboard box of Remington-UMC .45-70 Government ammunition features the classic green label with “Government Standard,” 405-grain bullets, Remington UMC circular trademark, and intact guarantee seal. The .45-70 Government was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1873 as the service cartridge for the Springfield Trapdoor rifle (originally a 405-grain lead bullet over 70 grains of black powder) and remained a popular commercial and sporting round for lever-action, single-shot, and military-style rifles for decades. Produced under the joint Remington Arms–Union Metallic Cartridge Company branding after the 1912 merger, this box represents early-to-mid 20th-century American commercial ammunition with strong collector interest among enthusiasts of Trapdoor Springfields, Marlin lever guns, and vintage UMC packaging.
