Civil War time brass powder measure set from Capandball Arsenal

Description

The brass powder measures are the authentic reproductions of the five measures described in the US Ordnance Manual of 1841. These measures were still in use by the time of the Civil War. They are conical with larger diameters at the bottom, and are easy to use. They drop quite uniform charges. The body is turned from brass, and the brass handle is soldered to the body. All handmade in Hungary by Capandball.
The powders of the 19
th
century differed in weight from today’s black powders, therefore there are differences in charges they drop. A comparison of our proper size reproductions and the information in the Ordnance Manual:
