Civil War Projectiles II Small Arms & Field Artillery with Supplement by W. Reid McKee & M. E. Mason, Jr.1995 reprint, page 26 #63 is quite near in appearance to the item in the photo. It's listed as a CSA .65 cal Hanovarian or Saxon weapon. On that same page, #98 is also conical for a "foreign mold for revolver".
One has apparently to take McKee and Mason as a starting point as some folks question the identification of some of the artifacts. Nothing new there.
