Antique .44 Evans Long cartridge featuring a brass case with an unknown no-headstamp base and a heeled lead bullet, representing one of the larger cartridge variations developed for the Evans repeating rifle during the late 19th century. Produced for use in the innovative Evans lever-action rifle, these cartridges were part of a firearm system noted for its exceptionally high magazine capacity and unique mechanical design. This example exhibits an attractive aged patina, visible oxidation on the bullet, and expected handling and storage wear consistent with its age.
