The .58 caliber Gardner was patented on August 17, 1861 by the Confederate States of America. The Gardner was unique because of how the paper cartridge was attached to the bullet. Normally the paper was either wrapped or tied around the body, but in the Gardner the paper was actually inserted into a groove in the bullets base. If the South had an "official" bullet it would have been the Gardner. These bullet replicas are made of lead-free materials. Manufactured in the USA by Americana Souvenirs.
