Ruben & Ira Shaler received patent #36,197 on August 12, 1862 for their sectional bullet. In theory, the pieces separated after exiting the barrel making “one man equal to three.” However, the separate sections were inaccurate. There are three different nose segments and three different base segments that can be found in various combinations. The middle segment is fairly uniform in all combinations.

This variant has the pointy-nosed, 1-groove nose segment in combination with the dished-cavity base piece.  Nice condition.

Recovered long ago from “the Shaler camp” in Falmouth, Virginia.  [jet][ph:jet]

Please do not request a specific bullet.
