Description:This is an iconic shell that is only recovered in one place. Most of these threw their sabots, but this one has its sabot with nice rifling. Carl gave me the book "Siege Train" which describes the CS artillery operations in this area and these shells are discussed. Its a great book and once you read it, you'll have to have a Harding shell! This one has been recently re-run through electrolysis, cleaned and coated for preservation.
