Description:Just a super nice half shell showing the innovative Confederate way of casting the shells so they break into equal pieces such that each fragment is capable of a debilitating injury. The outside iron on this shell is extremely good. The inside is also great. As you can see in the pictures the prior owner used a silver Sharpie to mark the lines of weakness for display purposes although they are extremely evident anyway. This would be a hard one to upgrade.
