Very nice group of three relics. The term "bite the bullet" comes to mind with the first relic which was been clearly gnawed on and disfigured. The second relic is a .58 cal. round that has been "wormed" or "pulled" after the rifle it was in suffered a misfire. The last is a .69 cal. buck and ball which fused together while in the ground. Provenance: The collection of Craig and Cynthia Wertz. Teeth bullet, 1 1/16"L Relic condition.
