This is another nice piece being offered, it is the bullet section of a paper cartridge for a .54 cal. US Model 1842 Military Pistol (see pictures).This cartridge has the ball with the paper still around it and a section of the string that originally tied it together. The other part which held the powder has deteriorated.
The single-shot U.S. model 1842 military pistol was the main handgun for the Mexican War and was widely used into the Civil War. These cartridges have become very difficult to find. It would make a nice addition alongside a gun.
