US 12 lb., 4.52 inch spherical half shell with bullets clearly visible in the black matrix. This shell used a Bormann time fuse. Visible are pistol and musket balls, which Confederate artillery filled into captured Union shells, making it a case-shot projectile. Center of shell matrix shows cylindrical cavity where a bursting charge occurred.

Shell was produced at Allegheny Arsenal in Pittsburgh, PA.

Exterior of shell has moderate pitting. Great for display with a nice wood base.
