Z5990 Calisher & Terry Carbine Cartridge, 30-Bore

Description: Very nice Calisher & Terry Carbine cartridge missing the outer paper wrapper. This is the 30-Bore or .537” paper cartridge used in the Terry’s Patent Type II Carbine. These carbines were predominately used by British Cavalry forces, but some were imported and used in the American Civil War. Both Jefferson Davis and J.E.B. Stuart had one during the war. Interestingly, this cartridge is manufactured and wrapped just like the British "Monkey Tail” cartridges. This paper wrapped cartridge has a powder charge between the bullet and the felt wad on the base. The paper and felt wad are in good shape with soiling on the paper. A hard-to-find cartridge!

Measures: D .594” OAL 2.554”
