I post mostly on artillery but I do have a few Civil War bullets...

So it was nice to recently be able to add a few to the collection.  I had a collection come in right before the Dalton Show, the keepers of which are dispersed among the displays in the group picture.

Then a couple weeks ago LeonVa, JimT and I got a crack at some nice ones from another collection.  Here are the ones from the second bunch I kept for myself:

Personally, I am trying not to be offended with the marketing hyperbole around Dan Poppen's excellent bullet collection up for auction here:

https://www.poulinauctions.com/complete-collection-of-civil-war-small-arms-projectiles/

There are a few I'd like to get but not enough to justify buying the whole kit and kaboodle.  Maybe JimT will and will sell me the ones I want  ;)

Very nice Mike, some beauties!
