Description:This is the real deal -- a Confederate 24pdr polygonal cavity shell! I bought a bore scope and saw the lines of weakness inside it. Unfortunately, the fellow who said he'd buy it ghosted me right after I bought the scope to figure out which of my 24pdrs had polygonal cavities (2 did for sure and in 2 others I couldn't see the lines). I'll share a picture of the interior if desired, and I can figure out how to get the photo off my new bore scope!

I am going to section the other polygonal, but this one is too nice for that fate. For more on CS polygonl cavity shells:
