 .44 Henry Bullet.
Complete with original powder,
this Henry was retrieved
from Appomattox, Virginia.
It had a small hole in the
cartridge which was mended
with a dot of glue to keep
the powder contained. Other
than that it is in great
condition.

 Confederate - Union head on!
This unbelievable Chancellorsville find demonstrates
how hot the rifle fire must have been between the two sides!
Recovered in 1981, this amazing example of 2 Minie balls colliding
in mid-air is a 2 in a million coincidence. I have analyzed this relic
in several ways. 1. One Minie has no rings at all and this is almost
certainly a Confederate Enfield ball and according to Dean and
Jim Thomas, the Union did not use Minie balls without rings (A Handbook
of Civil War Bullets & Cartridges, page 50).
The other ball has 3 exaggerated raised rings
which became more pronounced because of the impact from the
Confederate Enfield. 3. I have weighed
the collided balls and they weigh 978 grains (combined weight).
As you can see from one of the photos, the combined
weight of a .577 Enfield and a .577 3-ring Washington
Arsenal ball is 990 grains. I think you would agree that there
must be some inevitable loss of mass
from the collision.

 Civil War era Minie Ball hit by flying case shot.
This 3-ring minie has a smoothly curved concave body that appears to have been
hit mid-flight by a case shot. The shot we've used to show it is no longer smooth,
because of rust, so it doesn't fit perfectly, though it is close. Found in Virginia,
this is quite a unique piece for your collection. We're including the case shot, too.

 Two perfect, impact bullets!
Truly a one of a kind, mid air collision, this extremely
rare artifact is from one of the cruelest and bloody
battles of the American Civil War. This relic appears
to be two 3-ring bullets that hit head on. I am not
able to determine with 100% certainty what the bullets
are but the combined weight is 950 grains (2.170 oz.)
A typical 3-ring Minie weighs about 494 grains, multiplied
by 2 would be 988 grains, so apparently some lead was lost
during impact as you would expect. Found in
1995 at Spotsylvania Courthouse, Benny Atkinson has
decided to let his relic go and you are the lucky
customer! $2995.00 puts this unique and rare find in
your collection.

 Hand-carved Civil War lead relic bullet guage
found at
Petersburg, Virginia.
I believe this to be a unique, one of a kind quick check for the
soldier to find the caliber ammo he needed to fit his revolver. Both indentations
mic at 3.75 which would translate to a 36 caliber bullet for a breech loading
Colt revolver. As you know, breech
loading weapons always have a ball that is larger that the bore of the gun
that fires them. While muzzle loading weapons must be serviced with balls
that are slightly smaller than the bore. Granted ammunition was in boxes
that were marked but in the desperate situation in which the Confederates
found themselves in Petersburg, ammo was scarce and hard to get. With the
hundreds of thousands of bullets that were laying everywhere, discarded -
such a tool would have been an invaluable resource, a ready to use guage
suspended by a string by which the soldier could quickly and accurately
check discarded ammo, being able to determine which would fit his revolver.
I don't think it is a coincidence that both ends of this guage mic out
exactly the same. If you have another explanation, please share.

 Confederate machine-pressed Enfield Pritchett.

The surface of this unique bullet indicates poor quality lead, picked up

technique, the Confederates also had machine pressed Minies and this is
one of them. This late war piece was recovered in Petersburg, Virginia.

 Confederate .69 caliber Belgian Minie Ball. This Minie appears
to have a heavy impression where the ball was forced into the bore while loading.
Constant firing would cause heavy powder build-up requiring a lot of force to be
applied to the ramrod in loading, creating this type of mark. This is M&M #318
and T&T #189E. Thomas and Thomas' A Handbook of Civil War Bullets & Cartridges
says this Minie is typical of Southern manufactures and that it "was nose cast" and
is sometimes called a "Belgian" but it is doubtful that it was imported. Unique
with the ramrod mark.

French
Pin-fire Cartridge Gauge. This item comes with (eight) 7mm & (eight)
11mm pin-fire cartridges for a revolver. This is a rare and unusual instrument fabricated in brass and
silver plated. This device was used to determine the diameter of a pin-fire cartridge, which was largely
a French device. Inscribed on the gauge are the words, "A Paris Calibre Verifie Brevte S.G.D.G." and
reflect a maker's mark of MF (written together) a wheel and the MF in reverse. I am not sure of the
age but I am estimating the 1850's. There is a slotted scale along the top edge that measures the diameter
of the pin (scale runs from 1-10 and 1-24 with each slot varying in width. On the surface of each side there
are circular indentions in varying sizes (1-8 and 9-21 on the opposite side). This gauge comes with (eight)
11mm pin-fire cartridges that are in great shape. They are stamped on the bottom by the manufacturer, but
I can not quite make out the markings. The (eight) 7mm pin-fire cartridges are similarly preserved and are
marked "7 Eley".Order PN1001 $495.00 SOLD
