Description:Very nice smooth sided Sawyer shell recovered at Port Hudson. It has light rifling marks from having been fired. The shell is fitted with a Sawyer percussion fuse, the cap of which sits in the fuse hole nicely but doesn't engage the threads. It has a nice patina that matches the shell. I tried a Sawyer candlestick fuse and it fits fine as well, but I don't have an extra to sell and the percussion fuse cap is what came with the shell from the estate of a late collector.
