Civil War slugs carved to a point were used as pencils. Try it. That's what they used for pencils to write home with. Ever hear of a "lead pencil"? Now it's graphite but used to be lead. Not a naughty carving...just a pencil. Gary

Not trying to high jack your post but I found this and always wondered was it cared from a bullet and made into Indian jewelry? Found at a 1820’s sight in Louisiana IMG_0109.JPG

I can see no reason to not post these C.W relics. As long as we do not comment crudely and out of context.
