7 original Civil War era 56-56 rounds

[Jim W]

How hard will it be to find 7 original Civil War era matching rounds?

I really want to made a display "shadow box" for my 1860 carbine, and want the rounds to display with it.

Any thoughts or leads?

Thanks,

Jim

In May there's the collectors gun show in Denver, plenty of collector cartridges there. It's a huge show so figure on two days to see part of it!

Jim W,

The shadow box idea is a very good touch to a display!

However, from my prospective , I tend to think a display of this type might be better if you showed the head stamp making of some of the various "major" ammunition manufactures?
Just a thought on my part.
My best,
