old bullet

[jhamner]

I found this old bullet today in a pasture field. I don't believe it goes back as far as the Civil War, but I would love to know more about it--age, use, caliber, type of gun that fired it, etc. if anyone could help me. Thanks!!!

I beleive what you have is a rare .36 or .37 cal SAVAGE pistol bullet. Looks to be fired. Great find.

Many, many THANKS to all who came to my aid--I now have a much better idea of what I found as well as the approximate age. Thanks again to all who responded!
