Can anyone assist in identifying these items?
I received the following items from my grandparents property.
First item:
quantity-6 rounds, weight approximately 49 grams, primers appear to be intact, diameter of full lead bullet is .45 in, length of silver colored case is 2.11 inchs, over all length of bullet and case is approximately 2.798 inchs.
All 6 rds are stamped the same on the base of the case- at 1 o'clock-"F", at 6 o'clock- "98" and at 10 o'clock- "5".
Second item:
quanity- three rds, appear to be practice rds with hard white rubber(?) bullets.
brass rd- 2.305 inchs in case length, stamped on base- at 12 o'clock "A", at 3 o'clock "03", at 6 o'clock "10" and at 9 o'clock "F".
brass rd- 2.332 inchs in case length, stamped on base- at 12 o'clock "F", at 4 o'clock "02" and at 8 o'clock "3".
silver rd- 2.50 in case length, stamped on base- at 12 o'clock "A", at 3 o'clock "07", at 6 o'clock "10" and at 9 o'clock "F".
Third item:
Although corroded, it appears to be a solid brass bullet, .30 diam, 1.26 length and weight 14 grams.
I don't know if this will assist in identifying the items but my grandfather was in the National Guard. I have photos dated 1902 from that time.
Any information you can provide will be appreciated, thanks.
