I see it the same way -- which basically neutralized any chance this could be verified as a bullet strike, yes? So c'mon Monacacy Battlefield curators; shaky verification at best.Think maybe someone cut out the bullet? A knife made that shape, not the bullet. Hence the sharp edges. A blind man (but not a deliberately blind man) can see it.
A proper label for this item would be something like "This bible was claimed by a Civil War soldier to have deflected a deadly bullet, saving his life," which perhaps is the way the Battlefield museum does present it -- the article writer doing all the projecting.
