| Fine Original Civil War Period Paper Cartridge for Austrian or Mississippi Rifle |
|
| Here is a Very Good Civil War Period Paper Cartridge for .54 Caliber Rifle ! This would have been for the Imported Austrian Rifles & Mississippi Rifle. The entire cartridge is still nice and tight, with tail folded neatly, and twine tie intact. There is some minor discoloration around the nose and one spot on the tail that is darkened, likely due to some of the powder soaking into the paper. There is also a little bit of paper loss on one side, but not all the way thru the cartridge. I see no repairs anywhere. These .54 caliber paper cartridges are much less common than the standard .58 you often see. Just a Fine Displaying Paper Civil War Cartridge for Austrian or Mississippi Rifle !

|
|
These unopened full boxes of Houllier Blanchard 12mm Long Pinfire Cartridges are getting very hard to come by !

Box is a nice green/white checked pattern, with a super nice and legible black and white label reading, "Cartouches, 12millimetes, Houllier-Blanchard, Arquebusier brevete, Paris, A Longue Portee." Contents are 25 Long Pattern Pinfire cartridges, with an "HB Paris" head stamp. A super item to display with your Lefaucheux Pinfire Pistol, or excellent addition to your cartridge collection !

Here is a Fine 10.4mm Paper Cartridge for the M1851 Swiss Feldstutzer Carbine ! Measuring about 3.25 inches long by about .400 inches diameter, it somewhat resembles an English Whitworth Cartridge, or the even larger Enfield Cartridge. This one is in superb condition with no tears or repairs to the paper, though there is some minor staining near the base. Although to my knowledge these were not imported or used during the American Civil War, this is still an excellent and educational example of the early paper cartridges used in many muzzle loading carbines and rifles, both American and European.
