French Royal Deux-Ponts Standing Reaching for Cartridge

By the middle of the 18th century leather cartridge boxes designed to carry fixed paper cartridges, extra flints, and a simple musket tool were carried by most European infantryman. The French infantry carried a cartridge box, giberne, that contained a bored wooden block along with a tin tray that was stored below the block to carry between 30-32 cartridges. A small implement pouch was located on the front of the box under the flap. Buff leather straps were used for both the cartridge box and the waist belt for the sword and/ or bayonet and was kept clean with pipe clay, a finely ground white powder that was mixed with soap and water and applied to the belting until dry, when the excess was brushed off.
