In continuation of the thread on the Bullets and Cartridges section about Enfields issued in the war.

Just by coincidence the following two documents are currently being offered on EBay:

An invoice from Isaac Campbell & Company, London for 700 Enfield Rifles and Bayonets including Bullet Moulds, Nipple Keys, and Cases with Fittings purchased by Capt. Caleb Huseand Bayonets including Bullet Moulds, Nipple Keys, and Cases with Fittings purchased by Capt. Caleb Huse.

And, a handwritten one-page report from Headquarters, Independent Battery, N.Y.V., at Camp Nagler. Written January 12, 1863 that states that they have present 274 Enfield Rifles cal .574(?).

I know absolutely nothing about these items and am not endorsing them, just throwing them out there for the group to see.
