We will be at the Baltimore Antique Arms Show this coming weekend -- March 22-23. Because we have the heaviest inventory of anyone, they put us in the far back corner. Head straight for table Z24 and don't spend all your money before you get there. Odds are high that we will have more Civil War artillery projectiles in our one remote outpost than the rest of the show combined.

A01691 - 6pdr spherical shell -- possibly a polygonal cavity

Item Number: A01691

Item Title: 6pdr spherical shell -- possibly a polygonal cavity

Price: $495

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: CS

Type: Spherical shell

Size: 6pdr

Fuse:

Book:

Location Recovered: Spanish Fort, AL

Description:Desirable and uncommon 6pdr spherical shell. The only known unit on the field at Spanish Fort with 6pdrs was Lumsden's Battery (who complained about their size inferiority). This one is filled with concretion but at one place I think I can feel the line of weakness between polygonal sections. Rare 6pdr polygonals are absolutely recovered there and odds are very good this is one of them.
