Popes Popes and More Popes
« on: January 12, 2012, 10:43:46 PM »
Here are all my so-called popes, ringed pickets or whatever classification you call them.  Various sizes, shapes and similarities.  Most are Harrison Landing bullets.

Bill,

Nice collection. What is the size on that first one. It looks like a patched Sharps.

Ian,

It is around 0.57 caliber and could be a patched sharps.  Lawrence Christopher sold a bunch of these a while back (right before his accident) and it looked similar to MM56 so I stuck it in that slot until I find a better one (yeah if ever at this point).
