The shell, constructed of cast iron, is an excavated specimen that features a rounded nose, a perfect lead sabot on the base, and a Dyer zinc time fuse adapter screwed into the nose.

Recovered from Cold Harbor in Virginia.

The projectile is in very good, solid “dug” condition. Iron surface of the shell remains mostly smooth with very little pitting overall.   [jet] [ph:L]
