The bullets are also all listed and described on the rear of the display indicating the bullet type, date, and location of recovery. A close up image of this list is included in the additional images. The bullets are nicely displayed and labeled in a 8-1/4 x 12-1/4 x 3/4 inch glass top display case which will be included. The items are held in place by the pressure of the glass top resting upon the items and the rear felt covered batting material. The case and its glass top are secured by straight pins on either side of the box.
