✅ SOLVED Brass cartridge from Civil War Site

[ColtsPop]

Can anyone help identify this cartridge? Has an “H” on the bottom but difficult to see. Is it Civil War?

Guess a 56-50 or 56-52 Spencer. Could be of Civil war period? but they mead these up until the 1920's Earliest ones were not headstamped. This one appears to be unfired as I can't see a firing pin mark. Nice find. It' copper not brass.
