MODEL 1855 .58 CALIBER U.S. RIFLE AND RIFLE MUSKET BALL SCREW—EARLY VERSION ca. 1855:  This is the early version, ca. 1855, of the .58 caliber U.S. Rifle and Rifle Musket Ball Screw, identified by the round shoulders.  Used to extract the ball from the loaded rifle without firing the weapon, every soldier carried one of these in his cartridge box.  In excellent condition with a full threaded tip and in full form with much of the original arsenal finish present, this is a very nice specimen.  SOLD
