Civil War .54 Caliber Starr Carbine Linen Cartridge 

 

.54 caliber combustible cartridge, designed for use in Starr carbines and other percussion breech-loading carbines of the Civil War era. This cartridge features its original linen wrap and lead bullet, a scarce survival of wartime ammunition that was intended to be entirely consumed upon firing. 

 

These linen cartridges were manufactured under government contracts and issued to Federal cavalry troopers in the field. Their delicate construction makes near mint intact examples highly desirable to collectors today. This specimen retains strong form and displays beautifully in its protective case. 

 

A fine and genuine artifact for any Civil War arms or ammunition collection, and an excellent companion to a Starr carbine or display of cavalry accoutrements.
