$235.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: R20956

US 12 lb., 4.52 inch spherical half shell with bullets clearly visible in the black and tan matrix. This shell used an extremely rare Wright time fuse which functioned similarly to a Bormann time fuse. Visible are pistol and musket balls. Both Union and Confederate shells were filled in this fashion, making them into case-shot projectiles. Center of shell matrix shows cylindrical cavity where a bursting charge occurred.

Exterior of shell has moderate pitting. Great for display.
