Z6727 .44 Short Rimfire Cartridge by U.M.C. (U)

Description: Nice .44 Short rimfire cartridge manufactured by The Union Metallic Cartridge Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. This example has a round pointed nose with a single knurled cannelure and another small cannelure just above the case mouth. Suydam states that "the first pistol to use the .44 short cartridge was the sturdy, aptly named Hammond "Bulldog” single shot of 1864.” He goes on to name a few other pistols that the .44 short could be used in such as the Remington derringers, D. Moore, Forehand & Wadsworth’s side-hammer, and the Pond "Army” revolver. Nice example with a lightly oxidized bullet.

Headstamp: Impressed "U”
