.63 CALIBER HANOVERIAN BULLETS

$75.00 ON HOLD

Quantity Available: 2

Item Code: 2022-2584

We have two perfect examples of the Hanoverian “tige style” bullet. Pointy nose, two grooves, solid base with nipped sprue. Perfect white patina overall.

Tige rifles (sometimes called a "stem rifle") was a type of muzzle-loading rifle invented by Louis-Etienne de Thouvenin. The gun had a strong stem or “tige” extending from the breech plug. The solid-base bullets were rammed hard upon this stem to expand them outward and into the rifling. This system was surpassed by the “Minie” ball.

These bullets were likely filtered into the Southern Confederacy from Mexico where some French troops were armed with tige style weapons.

Both measure approximately 0.62” x 0.8”.  [jet] [ph:jet]
