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.

Description:I've been using the word exquisite a lot in the last couple days but fortunately the recent buys have had some top notch shells in them. Many I would have kept in my collection but prefer to keep what I have found and this is one of those.

The iron on this is just baby butt smooth and shows a nice mold seam. Along the seam you can see a faint vent mark with a couple chisel marks as well. It is everything you want in a solid shot.

This widely used caliber ball was used in siege and garrison instances very effectively. Every collection should have one and this would be a cherry example.

projectile is inert, cleaned and coated.
