Description:
We are offering for sale an artifact from the Civil War. This unopened packet of six, 44 caliber combustible cartridges still contained in the original packing. The rectangular shaped, brown paper wrapped packet measures 2 7/8” long x 1 3/4” wide x 1/2” thick. This packet contains six, conical-shaped bullets in original mint condition. Entire packet is enclosed with the original, brown, waterproof paper wrap that has the maker printed label in black ink on the face.
Label reads, “JOHNSTON & DOW’S / WATERPROOF & COMBUSTIBLE / CARTRIDGES, / Manufactured By / Elam O. Potter, New York, U.S. / For Colt’s Army Pistol, Cal. 46-100 / With powder made expressly for these cartridges by HAZARD POWDER CO.” Though packet labeling indicates 46-100 caliber, the Union army ordnance manuals of 1861 specified a load of 30 grs of powder with a .46 caliber, 216 gr conical ball for Colt M1860 revolvers of .44 caliber. These variations are found in prepared paper cartridges made by private contractors. U.S. government arsenals made few paper cartridges for revolvers, preferring to contract this task. Paper is clean and free of surface grime and stored in plastic. A minty, original, .44 caliber cartridge packet.
