Description:
For the price of a common Gardiner explosive, we have this rare Swiss pattern explosive bullet. The Swiss pattern bullet is shown in McKee and Mason, but not this rarer explosive version. I have never seen one in person before. This is a period bullet that would've been a private purchase arm.
