WHAT IS THE SMALL PIECE OFF? (thanks)

[Des from down under]

Hi from New Zealand, I thought some of you guys might like a shot of some of my goodies, the pieces of shrapnell I think are coehorn mortar bits I dug along with the enfield bullets, the small piece I would like a bit of an idea on, I dug at the same site, circa 1860 till 1865, it is a segmented piece and has a fine wrapping of lead all over it with a wall thickness of about 20mm, is this of an armstrong gun? love your help on this!
The other bits that some of you might not have seen are the stone patu and the greenstone mere, the same apart from the prestigiousness of the greenstone..was well known in early times that if you were dispatched by this type, it was good fortune for you!!!!!!can you work that one out!! It was used not as a club but thrust in a striking blow to the temple to lift of the skull..it being a favourite hand weapon with early maori from the 1700,s to the late 1800,s, replaced then by tomahawks.
The old relic of a gun was found driven into the ground as a stake on an old maori war trail by my brother in the back country of Hawkes Bay N/Z,,, any ideas on this
The other bits are a complete snider bullet, part of a nickel spur, (hope this is not boring you ) and a collection of pa kahawai these being very early lures that the early maoris towed behind there wakas (large canoes) the paua inlays deflected light and the predator fish nailed them, the idea being the crude bone hook caught in behind the gill plate and was flicked on board.
thanks for looking and any help I for sure do appreciate it. cheers des from down under!!

in Illinois you have to have a foid card (firearms owners identification card). they say in the us constitution that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. but they took mine away 20 years ago for trespassing. and i finally get it back this October

Trespassing with a firearm or simple trespass? With a firearm is a Felony.

Did you obtain a pardon from the Governor of your state? What seems like an innocent mistake is a Felony. If you were convicted, you would have been a Felon and lose your gun rights for life. I dont know the outcome of your case and why you lost your rights for 20 years but Im sure a Felony conviction is permanent.


My friend had a felony conviction on his record as a teenager and every lawyer he spoke with told him he could not get his gun rights back without a pardon. It turned out his record was a mistake. He had adjudication withheld and a lawyer corrected his criminal record and he got back his rights after 35 years.

Yes I understand. Maybe Illonois is different. My friend is also a good guy. I wish you the best of luck with your appeal. My friend got his rights back 35 years later by hiring a lawyer that found out he was never convicted and he made probation. His records were wrong.

In the state of West Virginia I believe after your felony conviction you can have it "sponged" off your record after 3 or 4 years as long as your felony did not involve a firearm or any other weapon. Not sure but I had a lawyer tell me that but I dont trust most of those guys either.

In the State of Florida you can have a "minor" felony espunged off your record only once in a lifetime so you can get a job but you can never own a firearm. You can also get back your voting rights but can never get back your gun rights without a pardon from the President or Governor. I checked into it for my friend. And unfortunately I believe its Federal law.
