Okay diggers and collectors. Who has this bullet in their collection or who has dug this bullet? Any information would be appreciated. I have a hole in my collection waiting to be filled and quite frankly don't recall ever seeing a Morse for sale. Any information on locations, troops association, or other information would be greatly appreciated.

I saw one for sale on eBay a couple years ago. Bill Ewing bought it. Jim got one at a show a little before that. I have seen a few dug in complete cartridges and one was offered for sale about that time and bought by a SC collector who had two fo the carbines. All are from South Carolina cavalry sites as far as I know. I do not have one in my collection.

ETEX, I bought-and-sold one, almost 30 years ago. I got it from Terry Moore in Hamlet NC. If I recall correctly, he said it was dug in a CS camp at Cheraw, SC.
Regards,
Pete

Hello,
I was fortunate to have one of these in my possession for a short time and it is one great bullet to have but I never have been able to obtain one for my collection.
All the information I have come across from various diggers is that it has been found in South Carolina CSA cavalry camps as far as I know.
I have seen several complete cartridges both dug and non-dug and aa few cartridge casings without the bullet and the cartridge case had no precussion cap in place.
It is a great bullet to have.

The .50 cal. Morse is cool. I bought my bullet at the Gettysburg relic show for $175. I think I spent more for the cartridge, but bought it a zillion years ago from the digger. Many came from around Bentonville, NC.

Pete, Tom, and Jim,
I appreciate the information on locales. It looks like that hole in the collection will be sitting there as long as the one for the 52 Calber Fagan.

I still have mine. If you need more information on where it was found, I can look it up.
