  • "Civil War Projectiles II Small Arms & Field Artillery with Supplement" by W. Reid McKee and M. E. Mason, Jr. on page 26, item #93

Comments: This example is from a very old bullet collection. The digger/collector identified and numbered each bullet with what he believed to be its corresponding McKee & Mason bullet reference number. This bullet will be an excellent addition to any Civil War bullet or general relic collection.
