This is a .44 caliber revolver cartridge by Johnston & Dow of New York in excellent condition.

Johnston & Dow received patent #33,393, #34,061, and #35,687 dated October 1, 1861, January 7, and June 24, 1862, for their cartridges. Using paper or fabric that was treated to make it combustible, the cartridge case was pasted to the bullet and was then covered with collodion to make it waterproof.

What makes this cartridge different, is that it has an “old model” style of bullet in the cartridge as opposed to the typical Johnston & Dow bullet. This was part of an April 1862 cartridge order when the Government supplied the bullets to Johnston & Dow be made up into their cartridges.

Rare to find this J&D cartridge with the common “Colt” bullet.  [jet][ph:jet]
