Ebay Two Piece Experimental

[Bill Ewing]

So - since ebay has blocked all user IDs, who was the lucky dog that got the rare two piece experimental that was in the M&M book.

It wasn't me.

looks like a bullet?  I won't be here much, not really a bullet guy and only have a small collection I had bought cheap years ago, but always wanted a shaler. anyone have an opinion on the 3 for sale on ebay right now, which is best and fair price?
I really am pretty lost with lead.

I see three on ebay.  One is beat up.  The other two are nice priced as I have seen them priced above $125 each.

Neat bullet. I saw two at the Baltimore show last year but they looked kind of new. I haven't seen any patent information on them. Does anyone know the history behind these?

i was lucky that the seller had an extra & I traded something for it
 after losing out on the Ebay one.

Thanks kindly,

Also picked up a complete Calisher Terry cartridge and a Cape Rifle bullet.  Working on bringing together information on Hanoverians.  Anybody out there know where I can get a copy of Tom Stelma's book(s)?

There was discussion earlier re the pictured bullet Nick Peirut had listed as an Italian Carbine.  I have a picture of the bullet with cartridge & it is for a Model 1855 Austrian Carbine.  I believe it was the rprototype for the New Austrian produced by the Raleigh D, D, & B Institute.  Will send pci fo crtridge & bulelt soonest find it.

I meant Asutian rifle not crbine.  Please excuse typos.  New keyboard is ruining me

Mike,

You know me better than that.  I contacted Gene and he had an extra and I bought it from him.  I was curious who else was fighting for the bullet as I had not ever seen others of them but I guess they aren't all talking on here.

Anyway, glad to fill another hole in the collection - now if Mike would part with one of those belted sharps I would be in a much better mood.

Good for you guys.  Do you know what that bullet was for or when it was made?
