 The Famed Whittled Whitworths from the published article in The American Digger Magazine! A photograph of five Confederate Whitworth Minie Balls highlights three that are carved and two that are not. They were all dug from the same hole across the road from Lee's Headquarters on land then belonging to the digger's Aunt. From an initial examination, I concluded that my Rebel Sharpshooter, no longer needing them, sat down and began to despondently carve. I kept the Whitworths and had a chance to look at the bullets every day for years. One day, as I looked at them, an idea began to form. (Click on the headline and link to the rest of the story.) I now offer these intriguing Whitworths and their story to you. This purchase comes in a beautiful Cedar display case. Order Whitworths $2500.00
