Here's some hints:
Caliber: .45 Length:1.428" Weight: 524 grains. Used exclusivly by Confederate Sharpshooters. Extremely effective in the hands of accomplished marksmen. Took out a number of General Officers (US) at the Battle of Gettysburg. Used in both the eastern and western theaters. Only a very limited number were here in the US. Imported from Britain at a cost of $1,000 each. This particular example was dug by myself while metal detecting in Gen. John Bell Hood's headquarters in Nashville during the Battle of Nashville. Should be easy to ID. grayghost
