My Grand-dad had a 1855? Springfield .69 caliber that he had over the mantle for as long as I can remember & after his death we had a good look at it including finding out that it was still loaded with Buck-N-Ball from possibly the Civil War!!!!

I still get eerie thought of what could have been since I know that fire place quite often had a good roaring fire going during the winter months....
