The case has the following accessories:

• Two-sided standing eagle flask.
• Correct Baby Dragoon/early 1849 "L" tool.
• Near perfect brass mold.
• Rare Colt cap tin by W. & C. Eley marked "for Colts' Pt Belt & Pocket pistols". The tin is taller than a 100-count tin and has no quantity listed on the label. Therefore it is an earlier tin for a larger quantity of caps and is more valuable.
• Case key.
• Skin packet Colt's cartridge works 6 combustible envelope cartridges for Col. Colts Patent Revolving Pocket Pistol, which is sealed and appears to be full.

The mahogany case is excellent; however, it is missing the lid for the triangular compartment at upper right corner used to store balls.
