Fine Non-Dug Civil War .30 Caliber Plant Cupfire Revolver Cartridge
Click on an image to enlarge
This is an excellent original cartridge for the Civil War era .30 caliber Plant patent cupfire revolver. This is a tough to find cartridge that is very different from any of the cartridges you encounter. The metallic cylinder of the cartridge encased the whole bullet. The hammer of the gun would have struck the inside of the concave portion of the base where there was a fulminate charge. This would have ignited the powder in the cartridge, thus firing the bullet. This one still has the bullet intact and in nice shape. This style of cartridge is photographed as cartridge #100 in McKee & Mason's Bullet book. The price quoted is for the exact original Plant style cup fire cartridge pictured.
