I don't think it is a rip-off, the seller has high marks. Besides, I already ordered 2 of these from him, the 1st is in the mail

I don't think the seller even sees the irony of the bullet being 'British'

haha exactly it would make more sense if it where an 8mm Mauser round but unless it was a case of friendly fire this has to be a hoax. Im sure there are plenty of cases like this, I know on the CSS Hunley they found the 20 dollar gold coin that Dixons? wife gave him for luck prior to enlisting, it stopped at bullet during one of the battles he was in and was found a few years ago when they excavated the Hunley.

Yes, I'm familiar with that bit of history. Fascinating!

Auction didn't reach reserve.
Current bid: $100,199.00
Reserve not met

I almost withdrew the thread after being embarrassed as a Kiwi,
reading the crappe (not that all was bad) that was appended to the auction.
Still I guess, self-fornicators can be found everywhere.
