                  Carved Dice

This pair of dice are from the bullet collection of Paul Irvin and were made in the field from bullet lead.  This was yet another way soldiers occupied their idle time.  First carving the gaming pices, then sitting round the campfire "rolling the dice".   Though not a completely matching pair, one die has less distinguishable indenting dots indicating number but the other is clearly a die.  Both are of similar size.  These will make an excellent relic for any campsite display.  During the late nineteen sixties into the early nineteen eighties Paul Irvin hunted many Civil War sites, both union and confederate, in central Virginia.  The story of several of Mr. Irvin's major relic finds is recalled in a chapter from Howard Crouch's book, "Relic Hunter:  The Field Account of Civil War Sites, Artifacts, and Hunting".  Click here to read the story of Mr. Irvin and these finds.  $95.00  Order Information  or  Questions?

                  Carved Bullet - Bird House" ?

 This interesting three ring bullet is an excellent example of a Civil War soldier's artwork.  As in any war there were periods of idle time where the men sat in campsites whittling away on lead bullets crafting them into objects ranging from non-descript shapes to beautifully crafted works of art.   One such piece of art offered in this listing is what I believe to be a bird house from the bullet collection of Paul Irvin.  Now, this object could also be interpreted as something other than a bird house, so I will leave this up to the future owner to decide.  It is indeed a beautiful carved bullet and the additional pictures will prove that.  During the late nineteen sixties into the early nineteen eighties Paul Irvin hunted many Civil War sites, both union and confederate, in central Virginia.  The story of several of Mr. Irvin's major relic finds is recalled in a chapter from Howard Crouch's book, "Relic Hunter:  The Field Account of Civil War Sites, Artifacts, and Hunting".  Click here to read the story of Mr. Irvin and these finds.  This bullet is an awesome example and will make for an excellent addition to any carved bullet or general relic collection.   SOLD

Fifteen Pulled Bullets

PC3059

                    15 Unique and Interesting "Pulled" Bullets
   
These fifteen bullets are not just your average ordinary American Civil War bullets.  Each one of these bullets is a misfire and each one had to be extracted or "pulled" from the gun barrel using a screw, corkscrew, pincers, or other device attached to the end of a ramrod.  What makes this group particularly interesting is that there are several different types of bullets included and each one exhibits unusual features such as exceptionally large screw holes, very distinct screw threads, deep holes and other unusual and unique characteristics.  Included in this group are:  2 Williams Type III cleaner bullets,  .69 cal. round ball,  .69 cal. 3 ring bullet,  several 3 ring bullets, a Washington Arsenal star base bullet where the screw was inserted so deep that the star in the base is bulging out,  a .44 caliber dragoon pistol bullet, a .44 cal. Colt pistol bullet, a .52 Joslyn carbine bullet, and a Confederate Gardner bullet.  Another overlooked and unique aspect about extracted or pulled bullets is the fact that they were handled not once, but twice by the soldier.  Sometimes in the heat of battle, when everything was on the line between life and death for these guys, with continued firing, the guns simply misfired and the process to extract the bullet would begin.  My guess is, with bullets whizzing by your head, for them, the extraction process seemed an eternity.  This nice collection were all excavated in central Virginia by various relic hunters and the bullets pictured are the exact bullets you will receive.

PC3172
                  Three Piece Shaler Bullet

This dropped Shaler bullet, with its yellow-gray patina, is in very good condition and is from the bullet collection of Paul Irvin.  All three sections are present with the top two sections fused together with the bottom section loose as recovered.  The top two sections were fused as a result of being buried tightly together in the soil for decades.  The Shaler three piece bullet is by far one of the most interesting bullets from the Civil War.  It is a multi-piece .58 caliber bullet that was invented by Reuben Shaler and patented on August 12, 1862.  After it was fired, the three sections would spread apart allowing for more impact points on its designated target.  Written on this particular bullet is the McKee and Mason bullet book reference number of "521".  During the late nineteen sixties into the early nineteen eighties Paul Irvin hunted many Civil War sites, both union and confederate, in central Virginia.  The story of several of Mr. Irvin's major relic finds is recalled in a chapter from Howard Crouch's book, "Relic Hunter:  The Field Account of Civil War Sites, Artifacts, and Hunting".  Click here to read the story of Mr. Irvin and these finds.  This bullet is a near perfect example and will make for an excellent addition to any collection.  Ref.

This excavated carved bullet is one fascinating little relic.  Recovered in the mid 1970's from a Tennessee Confederate camp by Jack Crawford of Chattanooga, TN.  This bullet is carved into what appears to be a rocket ship.  After reading an article on carved bullets in Volume I, Number 5 of the North South Trader Magazine, Mr. Crawford decided to share his find by sending a letter and picture of this bullet to the editor of the North South Trader.  Subsequently, the bullet was pictured in Volume III, Number 5.  Another note, which is typed and accompanies this bullet, states  "Shows carved Minie almost identical to Jules Verne rocket ship." See additional pictures by clicking on the thumbnail picture to the left.   One can only envision a soldier lying back on a moonlit summer night briefly escaping the the war by contemplating of the possibilities of space travel. This carved bullet is an excellent published example of Civil War soldier artwork and is approximately 1 inch in length.  An original copy of the North South Trader magazine, this bullet is pictured in, will be included.   $275.00   Order Information  or  Questions?

This .58 caliber Gardiner explosive bullet is in very good condition and is from the bullet collection of Paul IrvinCast of pewter instead of lead, this example has an overall lighter coloring and smoother surface than other pewter made examples I have encountered.  This bullet was made to explode and pewter, being harder than lead, would fragment more so than lead.  The bullet was constructed with a fuse nozzle in the base which led to a powder filled copper chamber in the center of the upper body of the bullet.  When produced these bullets had raised lettering on the bottom edge of the rim of the base that read: "S. Gardiner's Shell Patent Secured" and, amazingly enough, much of the lettering, though worn, is visible with a loupe and a good light.  The skirt is perfectly rounded and there are no dings, scrapes, digger marks or repairs.  Written on the bullet is the McKee and Mason bullet book reference number of "532".  During the late nineteen sixties into the early nineteen eighties Paul Irvin hunted many Civil War sites, both union and confederate, in central Virginia.  The story of several of Mr. Irvin's major relic finds is recalled in a chapter from Howard Crouch's book, "Relic Hunter:  The Field Account of Civil War Sites, Artifacts, and Hunting".  Click here to read the story of Mr. Irvin and these finds.  This bullet is a near perfect example and will make for an excellent addition to any collection.  Ref.
