This .58 cal. pressed & turned minie ball's nose was whittled away by an apparently bored soldier. The bullet has a nice ivory patina and a five spoke pattern in the base. M&M 347

BUL1- $6.00

.65 cal. Havoverian/Saxon Bullet

This is a tough to find Hanoverian/Saxon bullet that was likely fired by the French "Carbine a' Tige", which were imported from Europe along with a wide variety of firearms early in the war. The base of the bullet shows the unique impression of the Thouvenin system, which consisted of a steel pillar at the breech of the weapon that expanded the bullet into the rifling when rammed. The bullet is in fired condition with evident rifling grooves, and has an even ivory patina overall with one chipped area near the nose. This is a rare bullet representing the variety of European firearms used early in the war, particularly in the Western Theater. M&M 63
