Description:They don't come much better! The shell has extremely nice iron and a full white lead sabot. It would be hard to upgrade. To top it off the unmarked fuse has a wonderful patina and is in excellent shape. Since he fuse is unmarked we know the shell to be made before mid-1863. There is some evidence of the patent date marking on the bottom.

Shell has been drilled, cleaned and coated and is ready to display. A really nice example.
