This is a riker case with one Civil War bullet, a fired percussion cap, and a depiction of a soldier firing a .58 caliber rifled musket. The bullet, a .58 caliber three ring Minie, and the percussion cap was recovered in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The parchment style paper has been labeled ".58 Caliber Rifled Musket", along with the identification of each relic. The Springfield Model 1861 rifled musket, firing the .58 caliber bullet, is the best known rifle of the Civil War. The Springfield rifled musket was the main long arm used by Union troops during the war. The case measures 5 1/2" wide and 4 1/2" high. It has been provisioned on the back to hang from two nails or screws. This will make an inexpensive birthday or Christmas present for the Civil War collector in the family.
