We have a busy upcoming show schedule with the Mansfield show May 4th & 5th and Gettysburg again in late June. 2 more shows on the calendar for July and another in August!

This website is a side gig for us fellow hobbyists, and we have full-time "real jobs." Apologies for the lack of updates recently, but we defintely have a lot of good stuff. Much of it is in the process of being cleaned and inerted, but also I will be out of the country for work quite a bit over the next 6 weeks.

So, you know the drill -- if you have things on your want list, please send them into both of us. We're like Santa's elves and constantly working to find good things for our customers. Please copy both of us on your inquiries -- a well-intentioned customer just sent us both separately after the same item which was a huge waste of time, but that movie will have a happy ending nonetheless as he's going to finally get his Whitworth.

Hope to see many of you at one of these shows.

Price: $225

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US/CS

Type:

Size: .389

Cartridge:

MM#: 178

Description:
Reloadable "mule ear" cartridge for Christian Sharps' lever action pistols made circa 1857-58. Typical Colt-style bullet slug seated in a cartridge case featuring the "ear" soldered to the bottom. A small hole in the casing bottom allowed the percussion cap flame to ignite the cartridge. Dug on Mississippi Hill just West of Fredericksburg, VA by Wendell Lang. Exceptionally rare and if it doesn't sell I may keep this one myself.
