This is an excavated Civil War Sharps Old Model “ringtail” bullet. Nice “dropped” specimen with raised bands, visible mould seam, and white patina. Beautiful condition.

This was recovered from East Cavalry Field near Gettysburg by local resident John Cullison, who excavated relics on the field from 1935-1959. Cullison sold his collection to the famed Gettysburg Rosensteel family, who held the primary collection of Gettysburg artifacts.  [jet]
