I have always wanted to dig one of those bullets.

Very nice def, a Nice Carcano you got there.

Sure... It's also known as a 3-ringer. I only know THAT because of the number of times I've clicked on "3-Ringer" titled posts expecting to see finger rings...

That being said, here's what my buddy Google knows:

The 69 caliber Carcano is also known as the Garibaldi. Manufactured at the N.C. Institute for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind in Raleigh, N.C. This type of bullet is known to have been used by the 6th North Carolina regiment

Many of the bullets have mold seams that are strongly pronounced. Yours appears to be in excellent condition.

Cheers,

Yeah man. SWEET one. I have only found one (in a place the 6th NC was known to be). Mine isn't near as nice as yours . . . plus, I kissed it with my digger and I NEVER do that with yankee 3-ringers!
