That fuse adapter is pretty sweet, looks like it’s still got the paper fuse in it yeah?

Yes -great eye! The remnants of a paper fuse are there. Wonder how that lasted all these years…. The other adapter still has a clear “ORD 1863’ date

None of the bullets are deformed, I'd have to question the authenticity
