An instant collection of 23 carved bullets displayed nicely in a 9X12 Oak display case. Hammered, carved, shaped bullets of various caliber and type. Only the soldier knows exactly what these miniature creations where suppose to be. There appears to be one poker chip in the mix along with what looks like a bell. Take a look at the pics and we'll let you decide! These represent 95% of the soldiers time spent in the field, which was camp life and boredom. These make excellent education and interpretive tools for the living historian or soldier exhibit. The case is included.

Here is a really cool display of melted lead with some of the partially melted 3-ringers still visible. It also comes with 8 other partially melted bullets. These were all dug together from the same location near the Johnsonville Depot. Johnsonville would be one of Nathan Bedford Forrest's most celebrated campaigns late in 1864. The Johnsonville Depot became a major supply depot of the Yankee supply line to Sherman in Georgia. The combination of river & rail transport made it a very efficient means of transporting goods to the Nashville hub. Because of this, the line which ran from the Tennessee River to Nashville (along present Hwy 70), was heavily guarded with Yankee camps strung along this whole route. Forrest, after capturing two gunboats at Paris Landing, would mobilize his cavalry and artillery up the river towards Johnsonville. Catching the depot off guard, he would systematically destroy it and render the Nashville and Northwestern Line useless. I have a letter in the documents section written by a contractor working on this very line 5 months before this attack, which would totally compliment this display.

Unlisted in the MM book, a .37 cal multi ring sharps. The rings moderately stand out on this particular specimen. The patina is so white, it's hard to get a good contrast of the rings.
