Description:I don't know much to say about this ball except that it is different. You see a lot of 10-inch balls marked but I don't see many 9-inch balls with markings. but more interestingly is that this ball is cast with a very large "D" on the surface near the fuse hole which was for a wood adapter. And on each side of the "D" is a "*" (asterisk looking symbol). The iron on the ball is good and hard. It needs some hand cleaning and to be coated which I'll do before selling it. If anyone knows anything about this I'd like to know more.

Shell has been disarmed though the fuse hole.
