Status: Sold

Fine reproduction of a .38 caliber rifle paper cartridge with a .382 diameter conical. The very specific .382 diameter conical refers to the classic mid 19th century or black powder configurations. The conical bullet requires the cartridge to be securely rolled from saltpeter-treated paper or combustible paper to hold the powder charge, lubricant and a conical bullet. This cartridge is a great representation of the original and is in excellent condition, slight brown marking on the end and is wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve.
