Description:These 8in balls with the watercap fuse are so uncommon they are not even in Bell's book. I really like them and have only had a couple US ones and 1 CS one over the last 5 years. This is the first shell I have ever had with the Marine Corps EOD certification tag.

This came out of dry ground along central, coastal North Carolina. Its heavy and may be a case shot and was too heavy for me to lug it outside to photograph which is why the photos aren't great. The centercap in the watercap unscrews and the iron is rock solid. Nice shell and it will be a while before you see another available.
