Musket Ball

Published:

Description

I'm pretty sure this is a civil war era musket ball (they were being replaced by the Minié ball at the time, but still around).

I've had this for many years, and it's not something I would probably purchase today. Purchasing war relics just doesn't seem too kosher to me.

I can't even begin to guess what kind of purity this lead is. I expect it is fairly high, but have no proof, so:

Purity - >80%

OMG :confused: How big is that thing?

This is what I imagined when I was told that my husbands great great Grandpa's Civil War Jacket had been found. When it was unfolded the musket ball that killed him fell out. Chilling! Seeing this made chills run down my spine. It's all good though. :D
