No carve on it
 

Why what are these things worth?

I've seen them sell at Civil War shows (sell, not the asking price) for as much as $150 though that seems a little on the high side for most of them. $50 is pretty common. Depending of course on whether or not it's really a Whitworth. They're usually a little longer than that bullet appears to be, but the flat sides are indicators that it could potentially be one. No micrometers I presume?

OK
A very nice Enfield Variant.

Thought it was 'Wintworth' cause it looked Hexagonal in the first picture.
It would have been Hexagonal 'Most likely ' from being fired from a Hexagonal shaped barrel.

There were hexagonal shaped Wintworth bullets but the 'Pro's' tend to think they were used post Civil War.

I love Enfield's & that's a nice one.
