The bullet that killed Lincoln

[Jim Garrett]

Guns are tools. Put in the right hands, they are saviors, put in the wrong hands they can bring utter doom. The early accounts of the ball being made of britannia metal are incorrect. It is a .42 calibre handmade lead ball. The deringer is a .44 calibre, the difference is size is for the piece of cloth or greased paper used to seat the ball
