Presented here is an original Federal .69 paper wrapped cartridge in excellent condition. This artifact is considered a common type of ammunition used with smoothbore muzzleloaders prior to and during the Civil War. The .69 caliber round is wrapped with the original brown paper and its accompanying powder charge is still encased within the original beige or tan colored paper wrap. Wrap is tightly bound at the point of the bullet nose. One side of the paper shows green ink/paint markings.

This specimen of standard smoothbore musket ammunition is an original example of a Civil War Federal infantryman’s .69 caliber paper cartridge.
