Description:This is a real nice piece of shrapnel from a 9" Dahlgren cannon ball. It is about 1/4th the circumference and contains the fuse path from top to bottom and some of the powder cavity. The fuse hole is clearly the one that held the water cap bushing. Other than some hand cleaning it is uncleaned and looks like it would clean up well. A nice piece.
Frag is inert, uncleaned and coated.
