Description:Nice 3.4in Dahlgren blind shell complete with sabot. This was recovered on the Outer Banks. Not sure if its associated with the Battle of Roanoke Island or the subsequent occupation, but it is clearly unfired. Retains its lead sabot as well as some of the greased twine that went tin the sabot groove for lubrication.

These are filled with black sand for some reason, and thus inert. Usually they are painted black, but most of the coating is off this one. I have left it alone, but it could be re-coated if desired.
