Thanks for posting this.
By the late 1870s all Sharps PP bullets were machine patched and the women lost their jobs. But the machine patches were better looking than this job but not by a lot. At least the tail is not twisted then wadded into the base.
The machine patched bullets have neat flattened folds.
When this bullet was patched and when or if the British adopted the machines I could not say.
