Colt patterned the "Combustible Paper Cartridge" in 1855 for both rifle and pistol firearms. They were used to replace the 4 step process of musket loading (loading the black powder, then wadding, then the ball and wax) in the revolver firearm to the simpler, faster way of loading the one step cartridge, but still able to use the same firearm (a major cost savings for countries at war, i.e., the Civil War). The Paper Combustibles were a huge advantage, but short lived. In the early to mid-1860's, during the Civil War years, the copper, then brass cartridge was developed and became available - first in the rimfire patten, then in centerfire. The .36 Caliber and .44 Caliber below were bought from an old and well respected collector, and have been confirmed by two dealers to be original product for the 1855 to 1869 era.
