My CW friend said this:

“The. 45cal (11mm) pistol is civil war Era, nice find... I literally have no idea on the one with rings... It's solid... Not multi part? It looks like a 3piece shaler. It's old though... “

He said the 2 ringer sure is funny looking for sure. He never seen one like that.

Not to nit pick but 11mm converts to 44caliber, actually 43.3. The second bullet is a pistol round most likely 44 caliber for Army revolver. The first bullet is a head scratcher but someone here will know what it is. Can you give us a length?

Could it be CW?

The 2 ringer is .71” or 18.2mm

I don't think it is a Shaler. The bottom piece in one is solid. Your bullet is still a mystery.

You should post this in the "What is it" forum. Hopefully it will get seen by more people. I still have no idea.

Yea Bud I still can not ID that little 2 ringer.
I have guesses but Ill be here typing all day ( you know me & my rants ) that said . IMO - It could be Civil War era (someones experiment ) or not ?

Still a neat find ; prob more scarce than most CW era bullets.

A nice pistol bullet you got there also.

Maybe it was a personalized bullet for Andrew Jackson himself.
