Cartridge Case Caliber .50 — 6 Shot Glasses .925 Silver for Hunters

For the hunter who makes the post-hunt round a ritual: a dark brown leather cartridge case, an elongated folding design like a rifle case, with six silver shot glasses in cartridge form inserted inside leather loops. Unfold, pull out the six shells, set them on the table. At the top of the lid, a silver plate with an engraved hunting horn in a medallion, surrounded by oak leaves. The shot glasses themselves are three-part: matte 925 silver at the top, a niello ornamental band in the middle, a golden cartridge base at the bottom with a primer look. 50 ml per glass, gilded inside. A hunting gift set that doesn't disappear into the cupboard — it comes out when the rifles are racked and the fire is burning.

Cartridge Case Caliber 50 — Cartridge Pouch with 6 Silver Shot Glasses

The set consists of two parts: a handmade leather cartridge pouch and six shot glasses in cartridge form. The pouch is made of dark brown genuine leather — foldable like a classic hunter's cartridge pouch from the early 20th century, with a leather strap and snap fastener. Inside: leather with six vertical loops, each holding a cartridge shell securely upright. When unfolded, the six shells stand in a row, with the golden cartridge bases facing upwards. When closed, the pouch measures 296 × 117 × 40 mm and weighs just under a kilo (920 g) with contents — the weight of true substance.

The Silver Plate on the Lid — Hunting Horn in an Oak Leaf Medallion

On the outside of the folding lid of the pouch is an oval silver plate — hand-engraved, with a central medallion of a hunting horn and a floral oak leaf ornament. The engraving is a relief embossing on polished 925 silver, the lines are deep enough to cast shadows. The oak leaf motif extends symmetrically to the left and right to the edges of the plate. It is the signature look of classic Russian hunting accessories: silver as a surface, oak leaves as an ornament, hunting horn as the center. When opened, the inside of the lid is visible — smooth leather, velvety, without further decoration. The decor belongs on the outside, where it can be seen.

The 6 Shot Glasses — 925 Silver, Niello Ornament Band, Golden Cartridge Base

Each of the six shot glasses is three-part and has the shape of a real hunting cartridge — 50 ml capacity, almost 10 cm high. The top part is made of matte 925 sterling silver and is gilded on the inside — the gold glows warmly when drinking and additionally protects the silver. The middle band is the real art: niello hand engraving in a continuous ornament — floral tendrils, fine lines, deeply worked blackness against the bright silver. The niello is abrasion-resistant and remains sharply legible even after decades. The lower ring is polished brass with a gilded finish and a genuine cartridge base pattern including a primer look. Anyone who picks up the shot glasses for the first time has to look twice — they look like live ammunition.

For What Occasion the Cartridge Case is Made

Frequently Asked Questions about the 925 Silver Cartridge Case

What distinguishes the cartridge case from a normal shot glass set?
Three things: material (solid 925 sterling silver with niello and gilded brass base instead of stainless steel or glass), motif (each shell an engraved art, not printed) and form (cartridge case as from 1920s hunting everyday life, with leather loops instead of velvet cutouts). Plus the hunting horn medallion on the silver plate on the lid.

Are the silver shot glasses food safe?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is food safe and taste neutral. The internal gilding also makes them suitable for spirits with acid content (fruit brandy, citrus liqueur). Whiskey, cognac, vodka remain pure in taste.

Can I have the cartridge case engraved?
The silver plate on the lid is already engraved with the hunting horn motif — an additional engraving would be possible, but only upon request and depending on the area and desired motif. Standard: we include a free SilverVerse card with your desired text (name, date, dedication). This makes the hunting gift set personal without breaking the aesthetic.

What distinguishes the cartridge case from the hip flask as a hunting gift?
The Bear Fight Hip Flask (500 ml) is for the round, but as a single vessel that is passed around. The cartridge case is the set for six hunters at once — each their own "cartridge". More comparison in the Hunting Gift Guide.

How do I care for the silver and leather?
Silver shot glasses: rinse with warm water after use, soft silver polishing cloth if needed. The niello band remains abrasion-resistant, the internal gilding is insensitive. Do not put in dishwasher. Leather cartridge case: store dry, treat with leather care product if needed. Do not moisten the leather loops.

What other high-quality silver hunting gifts are there?
Five hip flask motifs (Capercaillie Set, Spaniel, Weasel, Bear, Bear Fight) plus silver wall art with hunting dog and rabbit. All bundled in the Hunting Gifts Collection.
