description

Summary

Twenty-six .50 caliber lead ball reproductions. During the fur trade, lead balls like these would have been used in smoothbore muskets such as the Northwest trade gun. The Northwest trade gun was specifically manufactured for sale in the fur trade. It was light and reasonably priced. Of equal importance, since its bore was smooth, hunters could substitute gravel or other improvised ammunition for molded lead balls if they ran out of the latter while hunting.
