Enfield Bullet with "S" Mark inCavity.

I found this fired Enfield Bullet with "S" Mark in Cavity a few months ago and not finding much information on it. Seems like all my searches end up finding “57” “L” marked but not “S” any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice bullet! There are quite a variety of Enfield base markings; I think the S is one of the rarer ones. I do not know of any documentation of exactly what the markings mean. Pretty much all I ever find are the plain unmarked ones. There is one for sale for $350 here: https://www.armyoftennesseerelics.com/civil-war-bullets-vol-1

Good deal. I had it a month before I saw one of the others and looked over mine, brushed the dirt out and there it was. Thought it was pretty cool.
