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:This is the real deal -- a Confederate 24pdr polygonal cavity shell! I bought a bore scope and saw the lines of weakness inside it. 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:
