Civil War Carbine Box Potentially Identified

Civil War "Common" Carbine Box. These boxes were made to accept wood blocks that were used for a number of carbines with common ammunition.

Gaylord, Chicopee, Mass, and marked on inner tool pouch lid. Sub Inspector stamp on outer flap. There is a name, "Leahy"? Scratched into the leather between the belt loops.

There are two Leahys in the cavalry during the Civil War: Charles Leahy, 11th NY Cavalry who mustered in Feb. 1862, and deserted 5 months later. The other is Dennis G. 1st Vermont Cavalry, mustered in 9/ 1862, POW -Broad Run, Va.

4/62, Paroled 5 days later, wounded at Gainesville, Va. No guarantee to either of these, but being the only listed candidates, the 1st Vermonter is my pick. An issued box show use, without block. No prior buckles on it.
