Confederate Carved .577 Caliber Enfield Bullet - "57" in Base
SOLD
This excavated carved .577 caliber Enfield bullet, with the raised number "57" in its base, was recovered from a campsite in the area of Cedar Creek, VA. and was acquired directly from the Virginia relic digger. Every now and then bullets are recovered with whittle marks or, in rare instances, intricate carvings, hand-crafted by soldiers using their pocket knives just to pass the time. The bullet's base has been carved into four points giving the bullet a royal "crown" appearance. The raised number "57" in the bullet's base is distinct. A complete and non-carved Enfield bullet is pictured with this carved example to demonstrate the before and after appearance. The carved bullet has an overall tan patina and will be an excellent addition to any excavated carved Civil War bullet or general relic collection. Approximately .566 x .975 inch.
