Z6786 Rare .32 Curtis Gun Trial Cartridge by Winchester
Description: Very rare .32 Curtis Gun cartridge manufactured by The Winchester Repeating Arms Company. This is listed as variant two on page 212 of Shuey Volume 1. It’s a 2-hole wooden rod functional dummy cartridge. Shuey states that these were Winchester Lawsuit Cartridges for the Curtis Gun and for the patent infringement trial between Francis Bannerman and P.C. Sanford.
This cartridge is in great shape with a very small dent to the right of one of the holes (you can see the light line bend around the edge of it in the photo). This cartridge has a flat nose, gilding metal, and full metal jacket bullet. It has a brass case and takes a Winchester #1 oval copper primer.
