I assumed this is a Civil War Era Federal, 58 cal Paper wrapped cartridge.  Am I correct?  Any concerns?

Thank you

Looks legit to me. Nice cartridge! Curious where you found it

Antique store.  Do you think  this is a 58 cal cartridge?

Looks good to me. Most likely it’s a .58 as that was a common size. Very cool find!

Thank you for the help.  I was happy to get it.

I would say it is a 58 cal the only other option would be a .577 Enfield but from what I have seen they were wrapped a little differently.

There were some .54 cartridges also wrapped like this I believe.
