Description:A friend dug this bolt at Bannerman's Island in 1963 and then had to pay $1.50 to keep it! He is still around fortunately, and I will provide the buyer with his name. Sadly there are 1 or 2 jerks trolling the website who have shown a propensity to directly contact people who sell to us and end around us. Owing to people like that, I won't list the digger's name here.
The bolt has never been cleaned, but the iron is obviously in top quality condition. Carl can run it for anyone who desires that to be done and I am guessing it will be about another $50 at most. It retains the lead sabot which is hard to clean around without turning the lead grey in color.
The bolts are less common than the shells.
