I have one which I inherited, and a box of ammo from roughly the 1920s, all intact, still in the waxy paper box.

You can read a little about someone else seeking down ammo in 2000-2001: here

Best I recall, there was a fellow who handmade it to order a few years ago, and it was about $8 per round, with minimum order sizes. I just moved, so that box is still packed, but I can look for it and post pictures of the ammo if you’re interested.

Edit: I remembered exactly where it was. Right on top too. Here you go.

Edit 2: Here is mine

I have, but I also think the corrosion and age gives them a nice look. I could make a mold of one and cast it in brass to have a display round or three.

Our group forge is down at a friend’s house; they’re holding to social distance pretty strictly. Let this pass and I’ll get to it. Especially now that we have a good brick fireplace.

Getting me excited about home decor, how dare you, haha.
