The first is an early box labeled "20 Pistol Ball Cartridges, Cal. .45, For Automatic Pistol, Model of 1911, Smokeless Powder," with a stated muzzle velocity of 800 ± 25 feet per second and "Dupont's Bulls Eye Powder, Lot No. 51 of 1910," Manufactured at Frankford Arsenal, Class 47, Division 1, Drawing 5. The back of this box carries the early notice instructing that fired shells be de-capped, cleaned and packed loosely in ammunition boxes.
