Description

Includes: Friction Primer (excellent condition) Original non-excavated Civil War cannon friction primer. These were inserted into the vent hole of the cannon to cause the spark that would set off the powder charge and cause the cannon to fire. You don’t see these very often these days in this condition. Percussion Cap (excellent condition) Williams Cleaner Bullet (excellent condition) Williams Cleaner Bullet is a specialty round and were designed to be fired about every 10 rounds. The plate on the back had a washer that would physically scrape the barrel after being fired. This would lessen residue caused by black gun powder in a rifle barrel during heavy use. Union Button (excellent condition)
