.69 CALIBER CARTRIDGE FOR
THE MODEL 1847 MUSKETOONS:
Quite rare and seldom found in this condition, this .69
Caliber Cartridge with the distinctive red and white
twisted tie string was issued for the Model 1847 Cavalry
and Artillery Musketoons. This cartridge saw use
during a very defined period with the Dragoons
during the Mexican War and on the Western
Frontier and some use during the Civil War. This cartridge
is in excellent condition and is complete with no damage
or wear, with the red and white twisted tie string
retaining its bright colors. These early cartridges in
this condition are a rare offering, emerging on the
market only when found in very old, advanced
collections. (C 40) $325
