This is an original .54 caliber round ball cartridge.  Composed of a round lead ball wrapped in cartridge paper and tied with tan string above and below the ball.  The cartridge paper is in generally very fine condition; there are a few small cracks in the paper around the ball due to lead oxidation. This cartridge features the regulation folded tail on the bottom.

The overall length is approximately 1.9” long. This is a mid-length powder charge; too big to be for a pistol and too small to be for a rifle. Likely for the .52 caliber breechloading Hall carbine. See specimen #66 on page 109 in “Round Ball to Rimfire, Part One” by Dean Thomas.

A fine specimen.  [jet]  [ph:jet]
