Description:Everybody likes these cannon balls with watercap fuses. This 32pdr has an 1863 dated US Navy watercap fuse that is original to the shell, and the centercap unscrews. The centercap on this one is a very uncommon oversized version about 3.3mm wider in diameter than the common watercap insert. Iron is solid and coated for preservation.
