Z6047 .54 Starr Carbine Linen Cartridge by Johnston & Dow

Description: Very nice example of a Civil War .54 Starr Carbine cartridge. This example has a linen wrap with a brown paper insert on the base. The body retains its shape and there is light soiling on one side with plenty of lubricant around the mouth of the linen casing. This example was manufactured by Johnston & Dow and is considered scarce. You will probably see 40 of the St. Louis Arsenal examples for every one of these!
