Used in the Henry rifle of Civil War fame, this non-dug ammunition specimen is a .44 caliber rimfire cartridge in excellent original condition.  The artifact has its conical lead bullet with a flat head fitted to a 7/8” long brass cartridge casing.  The .44 rimfire bullet and its accompanying powder charge are complete and tight.  Lead head wears a light coat of white oxidation while the brass casing exhibits a light pleasing bronze patina.  Once referred to as the ‘Yankee rifle you load on Sunday and shoot all week with’ this specimen of ammunition is a fine example of a Henry Rifle rimfire cartridge and represents a seldom seen specimen of Civil War carbine ammunition.
