Description:Nice, Vicksburg iron on this projectile and desirable patent writing stamped in the base cup. Nose comes apart from the base cup revealing the hollowed out neck area, done presumably for weight. The iron on this is really nice and looks better than the pictures, but I had a nosy dog trying to sniff and lick the projectile while I was shooting the photos.
