Description:Spectacular, big 9in case shot half section. This is for a Dahlgren gun fired into the Confederate defenses at Port Hudson, LA, scene of the longest siege in US history. This one has everything you want: size, yellow matrix, the rare big brass underplug, a nice fuse, good exterior and a clean cut showing the shot in the matrix. If the one in my collection wasn't catalogued already and on the top shelf of my display, I'd swap this one out as it is terrific.
