Hi, gentlemen.

I'm not a living historian per se (though I just found out my GGG-Uncle was probably one of the ones taunted by Permelia Higgerson in the Battle of the Wilderness, and I'm going to make myself a working dress--hopefully--like hers. I live in VA now, but I was born and raised in Philly. THAT TRASH-TALKIN' SOUTHERN WOMAN REALLY WARMS MY HEART!!!!)

I learned of her (and my GGG-Uncle) through a family history I've been putting together. I'm also collecting relevant artifacts about him. By relevant I mean NOT FARB if I can at all help it!

I know that his regiment, the PA 149th, was issued 1853 Enfields. I want a corresponding minie ball, preferably from Wilderness Battlefield.

I'm bidding for a .58 cal, 3-banded ball on Ebay (which I presumed was an Enfield ball); but now I see a listing for a RARE ENFIELD BALL which is unbanded.

Do you guys know which I should go for?
