Z6458 French 11MM Chassepot Needlefire Cartridge

Description: Nice example of the French 11mm (.433”) Chassepot cartridge. These were used in the Model 1866 Chassepot needlefire, breech-loading rifles known as the Fusil Mod. 66. This is a very nice two-piece paper & linen cartridge with the primer located at the rear. The front portion holds the projectile, and the rear portion holds the powder charge. This is a nice clean example with one small oxidation pop in the paper near the nose. There is plenty of lubricant on the nose portion still attached. A nice cartridge to display alongside your M1866 Chassepot!

Measures: OAL 2.697”
