US Civil War…..help/info needed on bullet
Hey gang….Not sure if anyone can help me out here or not…but wanted to share some pics of a round that was given to me by my parents a long time ago. It was picked up at a US Civil War battlefield - sorry, I can’t remember which one but I do remember them coming back from a trip down the US East Coast and saying that it was from a Civil war site.
Does this look 1860’s period to you guys? I have NO clue as to what this is from as this is completely out of my collecting field. It has three "gooves on the outside, it’s got a whitish color now but I don’t think it’s always been like this - some kind of oxidization maybe? It’s quite heavy and pretty big for a bullet.
Anyways…took some quick pics. Would love to know what kind of bullet this is. Any help - any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Rob
