Offered here is a seldom encountered Civil War era single combustible cartridge for the Colt Model 1851 or Model 1861 revolver. It has a cloth pull tag and paper wrapping featuring "COLT'S" and "PATENT" in bold black ink.

Very fine, showing a tear through the "C" and "O" of "COLT," otherwise the wrapping is tight. The printing is clear. A rare Model 1851/Model 1861 combustible cartridge for your antique Colt collection.
