Little big horn style, I think.

 

[Sheperdess]

Those are gun to find.

 

[Garscale]

Man that's a big one!

 

[old digger]

That is a super nice one.

I found one quite similar with the tip bent.

Nice one Fat, great condition as well.

 

[MAMucker]

Very cool Fat!
Personal find?
Side note: I understand that the ‘Indians’ used Winchester & Henry Repeating Rifles to overwhelm Custer’s army.

The bodies of Custer’s soldiers laying on the battlefield were pin-cushioned by arrows after death.

Interesting fact: Out west, at the time the battle raged at the Little Big Horn; in the East, the Brooklyn Bridge was being completed.

Yes personal find but redound in my piles of stuff. I have some I want to show but haven’t found again yet.
I watched a show about the big horn a few years ago after a prairie fire there were around 40 different Caliber shell cases found.
Sry so late to reply, I saw and than forgot to reply...

Very nice.

That’s a nice one Fat.
Years ago my dad and I detected out your way at both Summit Springs and Beecher’s Island battle sites.
We could get permission back then but I doubt that a person could now get access to those historic sites.

 

[pepperj]

Very nice, liking the stem.

 

[billb]

Congratulations on your great recovery ..

A contrary view of Custer and the Battle of Little Big Horn I found interesting, FWIW:

grand dad was born 3 years before that battle in MN ... not all that far away... he died the month Sputnik went up. Imagine the changes he witnessed.
