Civil war bullets from Chancelorsville

[damoc]

I found these at a garage sale many years ago and just got around to storing and recording a little better until I can build a display case/plaque for them.The most interesting to me was the .44 bullet for the colt revolvers it seems like it is slightly narrower at the base I'm guessing for ease of loading.

 

[25-20 WCF]

Assuming that the bullets actually are from 1863, the rebated base on the .44 Colt Army bullet was to allow the paper cartridge to be attached to the bullet.
