Percussion Caps

MaineMan 1862's picture

Hi Again,
This time I have a question about Percussion Caps. Awhile back I bought some from the Kittery Trading Post. These were in a black tin with a red label. I found the name (I believe) and it is Vorderlader-Zundhutchen.
The problem is, I had half a tin full at my house and now it's nowhere to be found. We have looked everywhere for it. I was wondering where you get these from or if there is any place in southern Maine or New Hampshire that carries these.
These caps have worked for me in the past, and from what I've heard and seen, the six winged ones are not to be used. These are the four-winged and seem to work fine.
If anyone has any information on where to find these caps it would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely and Respectfully,
Jared Johnson
Company A, 3rd Maine Regiment of Volunteer Infantry
